Fun Facts:
Oldest Sporting Trophy: The first America’s Cup took place in England in 1851. The New York Yacht Club was the winner. America continued to win for the next 100 years. There were 9 America’s Cup races before the first modern Olympic games were held in Athens in 1896.
Winner Takes All: Not only is there no second place winner in the America’s Cup, but the winner gets more than a trophy. They also get to decide the rules and the location of the next America’s Cup race.
No Prize Money: The winning team wins a trophy but no money. They do receive significant pay from luxury sponsors such as Nespresso, Oracle, and Prada.
