The Admiral’s Cup is a prestigious racing trophy awarded to the winner of a biennial international sailing yacht competition. Established in 1957 by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) of Great Britain, the event features teams from various nations, each represented by three yachts measuring between 8 to 21 meters according to RORC rules (formerly 9 to 18 meters in waterline length). The competition consists of six races (five prior to 1987) held off the southern coast of England, with the 975-kilometer Fastnet Cup Race serving as the final challenge. The Admiral’s Cup remains one of the most coveted trophies in ocean racing.
