The
King Edward VII Gold Cup is the oldest Match Racing
trophy in the world for competition involving One
Design yachts. It is a highly prestigious trophy
with a rich tradition. It was the only King's Cup
ever to be offered for competition in the United
States which could be won outright.
The
venue brings world-class match racing close to
shore where spectators can easily see the competition.
The tournament takes place only steps from Bermuda's
prestigious Front Street shopping district and
historic downtown Hamilton.
The
quarter and semi finals are both 'first to three'
elimination rounds. The two teams that survive
these rounds move on to the finals.
The
finals feature the top teams in a 'first to three'
head-to-head battle to determine the winner of
the King Edward VII Gold Cup. The Petite Finals,
a 'first to two' series, is between the two losing
semi finalists for third and fourth place. Also
on this
day is the exciting Match Race between
two traditional Bermuda Fitted Dinghies; the "Contest" representing
the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and the "Elizabeth" from
the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club.
