America finally takes the America Cup back!

The world’s oldest active prize (even older then the modern Olympics) has returned to the USA after a 15 year drought. A team put together by BMW and Oracle this last weekend took the prize back from Switzerland who were the reigning champions of the last two years.

The cup is called “America” not because it has to do with anything about the two continents but because the first ship to win it was called “America” Though you have to get the US credit, they had won the cup every year since when it was started until 1983.
