In 1851, the Royal Yacht Squadron awarded the trophy to the winner of a race around the Isle of Wight. The (name unknown) trophy was re-named the America's Cup after the name of the winning schooner, America.
The trophy was then donated to the New York YachtClub, who kept it available for perpetual international competition.
