The PRADA Cup is a series of races that determines who will be the Challenger in the America's Cup Match. That Match will be held in MARCH 6-15, 2021 in Aukland, New Zealand.
Final Racing was February 21, 2020 in Aukland. LUNA ROSSA PRADA PIRELLI WIN THE PRADA CUP
The Italians winning the Series 7-1 over INEOS TEAM UK, now move onto the America’s Cup Match, the ultimate goal four years in the making, starting in 12 days time.
Wining seven to one, the Italians looked very strong. They will now face Emirates Team New Zealand in the America's Cup, so called because it was first won by the schooner America in 1851.
This is the 3 plus minute highlights of Day 4 Racing (Feb 21).
For the sailors in the audience, the 25 minute video review of the day's sailing can be found at this link.
If anyone is interested in the history of the race, which dates to 1851, there is a nice video that is short on the America's Cup site. There is also info not in the video. And highlights the phrase, “Your Majesty, there is no second” which has come to describe the nature of the competition. Match Racing at its finest.
