America’s Cup – The Beginning

Also known as The Auld Mug or The 100 Guineas Cup.
The Dutch originated yacht racing in the seventeenth century, and early Dutch settlers brought the sport to the colony of New Amsterdam (later, New York). Following exile in The Netherlands, King Charles II introduced it to England when he assumed the British throne (1660). The first yacht club was established at Cork, Ireland, in 1720, but organised racing did not begin until the mid-eighteenth century on the River Thames in England. This led to the founding of The Royal Yacht Squadron (originally The Yacht Club) on 1 June 1815 in the Thatched House Tavern, St James’s, London by 42 gentlemen interested in sea yachting. They decided to meet in London and in Cowes (on the Isle of Wight) twice a year, to discuss yachting over dinner. The first continuing yacht club in the United States, the Detroit Boat Club, was founded in 1839.

Yacht ‘America’ Passing the Royal Yacht ‘Victoria & Albert’ in the First America’s Cup Race held round the Isle of Wight on August 20th 1851 by William Henry Bishop (1942 – )

The official America’s Cup commenced in 1857. The winners of the 1851 race donated the 100 Guineas Cup to the New York Yacht Club through a Deed of Gift in order to establish a perpetual international competition. This was the start of a competition that has run ever since. The America’s Cup became the first trophy in international sport.
