14 | 36TH AMERICA’S CUP PRESENTED BY PRADA – AUCKLAND 2021 The Background

| 15 The history of the America’s cup

The AC is the world’s oldest sporting trophy and was first contested in 1851. Originally conceived as the 100 Guineas Cup, the race consisted of participants from the Royal Yacht Squadron (UK) and a recently formed (US) in a race around the Isle of Wight. When the schooner ‘America’ crossed the line and beat 15 British to the honours, the converted trophy was renamed ‘the America’s Cup’. These were the humble beginnings of the tradition that the yacht club who wins the trophy, known as the defender, becomes mandatory host of the next event, where they face the Challenger yacht clubs. After the victory in Bermuda, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Club is the current defender. The team won the 2017 America’s Cup in Bermuda, defeating Oracle Team USA. The team has become a household name around the globe, having been the first team from outside the United States of America to win the AC in 1995 and successfully defend it in 2000. New Zealand has a long-standing history with the ‘Auld Mug’, a testament to the country’s incredibly skilled sailing community and ability to host the international event. In 2021, New Zealand will host the Cup for the third time in the last six editions of the event and will work alongside the Challenger of Record in doing so.

Even though the 2021 America’s Cup will be sailing in monohulls, they will be foilers rather than displacement boats, so the tradition of speed will continue to evolve.

Auckland has a history of utilising mega sporting events, like the AC and the Rugby World Cup, to revitalise areas of the city and catalyse much-needed infrastructure development. Auckland is one of the world’s fastest growing cities and the waterfront represents an opportunity to regain some of the most attractive areas of the city for the public. Peter Busfield, New Zealand’s Marine Industry Association Executive Director, said that winning the AC in 1995 gave Auckland “a new front door” with the building of the Viaduct Harbour, and once again, the Viaduct Harbour will play host to another world-recognised event. Hosting the AC catalyses a wave of innovation and creativity that can make New Zealand an even more attractive country for international visitors as well as for domestic inhabitants.
