Entries for challengers opened on 1 January 2018 and closed on 30 June 2018 with late entries accepted until 31 December 2018. The America 's Cup World Series will be held in 2019 and 2020 with a Christmas regatta in December 2020. The Challenger series will be held in January and February 2021 with the America 's Cup match in March. Prior to Emirates Team New Zealand winning the 35th America 's Cup in 2017, Oracle ( the defender at the time ) and four of the five challengers had signed a framework that would have seen the 36th America 's Cup in 2019 and the 37th in 2021, with the existing 35th Cup class boats, the AC50s, and a pre-selection America 's Cup World Series tournament with the same boats. Team New Zealand, the eventual champion, had opted to not sign the framework agreement, and were not bound by its terms, freeing them to set their defence for 2021, while also choosing the AC75 boats, in hope of making the competition more attractive to sailors. Challengers Circolo della Vela Sicilia is the `` Challenger of Record '' for the 36th America 's Cup. Their team, Luna Rossa Challenge is led by Max Sirena, had previously lost to Emirates Team New Zealand in the 2000 America 's Cup and the 2007 and 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup finals. On 13 March 2018 Jimmy Spithill announced he was returning to Luna Rossa Challenge. INEOS TEAM UK has entered and is led by Ben Ainslie. There is speculation there could also be entries from Australia and China, and second challengers from Italy and the United States. The New York Yacht Club ( NYYC ) has entered AC36, under the syndicate name American Magic, with a team led by Terry Hutchinson and Bella Mente Quantum Racing Association. In May 2018 it was announced that Dean Barker would helm the boat. `` American Magic '' refers to the first Cup winner, the yacht America of 1851, and the first defender, NYYC 's yacht Magic, who successfully defended in 1870. The America 's Cup trophy was held by the NYYC for 132 years until 1983. The NYYC successfully defended the trophy twenty - four times in a row before being defeated by the Royal Perth Yacht Club, represented by the yacht Australia II. The NYYC 's reign was the longest winning streak ( in terms of date ) in the history of all sports. Venue The Cup will be sailed in New Zealand 's Hauraki Gulf, on the east coast of the North Island, in Auckland City 's Waitematā Harbour as the venue. Italy has been announced as the backup venue. Boats The Cup will be sailed in the AC75, 75 foot foiling monohulls. The boats are expected to have requirements around the boats being `` constructed in country ''. Teams are allowed to build two boats each. Nationality Twenty percent of sailors in each team must have passports from that country. The rest must meet a residency requirement : they must reside in that team 's country for 380 days from 1 September 2018 to 1 September 2020.
