America’s Cup racing is a shore thing
San Francisco is looking forward to the return of the America’s Cup World Series Races with bigger boats and more races coming in 2013.
The oldest trophy in international sport, the America’s Cup was first contested in 1851.
The 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco consists of three main stages – the America’s Cup World Series (held in August and October this year), followed by the Louis Vuitton Cup (July 4 – Sept 1, 2013) and the America’s Cup Finals (Sept 7-22, 2013).
Adding to the excitement on San Francisco Bay will be the new Red Bull Youth America’s Cup in August and September 2013.
San Francisco is the first city to host the America’s Cup where the races can be viewed from the shore. Races will be held against a backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
Before and after the races, spectators can enjoy activities and entertainment at the America’s Cup Village.
One of the legacies of the America’s Cup in San Francisco will be the city’s new James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27 which will debut in the role of the America’s Cup Village in 2013.
The San Francisco Travel Association is the official tourism marketing organisation for the city and County of San Francisco.
