The America's Cup is a yacht racing competition. It is the oldest continuous competition in international sport, and among the world's most prestigious sporting trophies.
The 38th America's Cup will be raced in a match-race series between a yacht sailed by Emirates Team New Zealand representing the defender Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, and a yacht representing the challenging yacht club. The challenging yacht club will either be the one which is first to issue a valid challenge to the defending club under the Deed of Gift of the America's Cup and becomes a sole challenger, or the one which wins a Challenger Series organised by the first valid challenger, which is called 'the Challenger of Record'.[1] The Royal Yacht Squadron is the Challenger of Record for a second consecutive America's Cup.[2][3]
