The America’s Cup: Part One – Sports Bizarre

In 1851, the yacht America, headed to England to take on the best of the British, stopping to pick up the finest French wines along the way.

After defeating the English, the owners decided to entrust the trophy to the New York Yacht Club, as an international trophy to be competed for. They named it after their yacht, America and the America’s Cup was born.

Titus O’Reily and Mick Molloy begin their series on the America’s Cup, the 132-year winning streak, and its end, 40 years ago when Australia II won a famous victory.
