Sailing's greatest prize the America's Cup will be competed for in Auckland New Zealand in the summer of 2002-2003.  The America's Cup challengers this time are likely to consist of syndicates backed by some of the richest people on the planet. People who are not accustomed to losing.

Most of the info here relates to the last America's Cup at the moment but will be progressively replaced as the next America's Cup draws nearer.
