UNICREDIT YOUTH & PUIG WOMEN’S AMERICA’S CUP
Creating an electrifying pathway to the America’s Cup itself, the UniCredit Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup events are set to be some of the highlights of the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup in Barcelona, attracting the next generation of foiling superstars who have the perfect platform to showcase their talents to the world. Alongside the established six America’s Cup teams, a further six entries have been received from Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Sweden and Australia with all the teams undertaking extensive selection trials to uncover future talent.
Racing in each event took place in the world’s most exciting new foiling class–the AC40–all equalised with standard components in strict one-design monohulls. Skill, talent, perfect racing intuition, and dynamic foiling saw the very best rise through fleet and match racing. The UniCredit Youth America’s Cup Final took place in-between racing the Louis Vuitton Cup Final (Challenger Selection Series Final). The Puig Women’s America’s Cup Final was scheduled in-between racing of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Match. Maximum exposure was guaranteed, and the next generation of talent uncovered for the world’s longest-running international sporting trophy–the America’s Cup. The future is now.
