where did the first america's cup take place
America's Cup The cup was originally awarded in 1851 by the Royal Yacht Squadron for a race around the Isle of Wight in England, which was won by the schooner America. The trophy, originally named the 'Â£100 Cup', was renamed the America's Cup after the yacht and was donated to the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) under the terms of the Deed of Gift, which made the cup available for perpetual international competition.
America's Cup The America's Cup is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron,[8] who will defend the Cup in the 36th time.
