In August 2024, all eyes will be on Barcelona as it hosts the 37th edition of the America's Cup, sponsored by Louis Vuitton. The Catalan capital, renowned for its rich culture, promises a stunning backdrop for this major event from August to October 2024.
The first edition of the America's Cup took place in 1851, with the schooner "America" winning around the Isle of Wight. Since then, it has become the most prestigious sailing race in the world. The trophy was renamed "America" in honor of the winning schooner in 1851 and has been awarded by the New York Yacht Club during international competitions, marking the start of a sporting tradition.
