Teams

edit

Twelve teams are split into two pools of six for an initial fleet racing series, Group A contains clubs which entered into the America's Cup challenger series of that year and Group B contain clubs which have been invited to take part. The top three of each division then progress to the final series of 3-4 fleet races which decide the top two teams, who subsequently compete in a single match-race final to determine the overall winners of the event.
