This year marks the 103rd anniversary of the first Gold Cup regatta. The Argo Group Gold Cup features match racing for the King Edward VII Gold Cup, the oldest match-racing trophy in the world for competition involving International One Design yachts. It was given the Tri-Centenary Regatta at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1907 by King Edward VII in commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of the first permanent settlement in America. C. Sherman Hoyt won the regatta and was the first to accept the now historic cup. After three decades of holding the cup, Mr. Hoyt gave it to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and proposed a regular one-on-one match race series in 6 metre yachts. Today, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is still the headquarters for this race and is open to the public for viewing the racing and for special functions during this regatta.
