Bermuda named as host for 2017 America鈥檚 Cup
Print Edition
THE tiny mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with its stunning backdrop of crystal clear waters and pink sands, will host the world’s greatest sailing race, the America’s Cup, in 2017, organizers announced on Tuesday.
It will mark the first time that a United States team has defended the prestigious cup — the oldest trophy in international sport — in foreign waters. “I’m pleased to announce that the next America’s Cup will be held in June of 2017 in Bermuda,” Harvey Schiller, commercial commissioner for the 35th America’s Cup, said in New York.
Oracle Team USA, based in San Francisco, made one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history in September 2013 to win the last America’s Cup in a decisive duel with Team New Zealand. It will be challenged by five teams — Artemis Racing, Ben Ainslie Racing, Emirates Team New Zealand, Luna Rossa Challenge and Team France. Bermuda and San Diego were the two finalists for the Cup.
