The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, dating back to 1851, when the yacht America, after which the trophy is named, beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K. The trophy won on that day was donated in trust through a Deed of Gift and has since become a symbol of immense achievement. In its 167 year history, only four countries have managed to win the America's Cup making it perhaps the hardest title to capture in sport. The America's Cup is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland. In 2017, Emirates Team New Zealand, secured an historic win over Oracle Team USA and will defend the trophy in New Zealand waters in March 2021 in the 36th America's Cup presented by Prada.
