Louis Vuiton 37th America's Cup

12 – 27 October 2024

The America’s Cup is a competition where there’s no room for second place—it’s a winner-takes-all event that has been this way for over 170 years.

In October 2024, the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, will compete against the winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup (Challenger Selection Series) in a 13-race match series. Each race will be a direct battle between the two teams, with the victor earning one point and the loser receiving none. The first team to accumulate seven points will be crowned the Defender of the 38th America’s Cup.
