Sorry, I'm no expert, but basically the team that wins the cup represents a country, and that country is the host for the next race series. Switzerland won it from New Zealand last time, and since Switzerland has no coastal water, they chose to race in Valencia, Spain for 2007 but they have choosen Ras al-Khairmah in UAE for the 2010 event. When we (the USA) had the cup for those 134 years or whatever it was, we had it off NY, I believe, since the NYYC was the club that had won it the first time. Many of the people involved, however, were from San Diego, and so when Dennis Conner lost it to Australia and then won it back, he brought the cup back not to NY but to SD. That's where he lost it again, to NZ, and it's been gone ever since. NZ had it in Auckland, because that's the "City of Sails" due to the harbor practically made for it... in other words, the NZ people decided that's where they wanted to have it.

Not sure about football but in mountain biking the world cup is a multiple race competition where points are awarded for each race and the competitor with the most points at the end is the winner. In contrast a world championship consists of a single race.

The Americas Cup is a race for big yachts (sailboats).
Yachting is a sport. Yachts race in races such as the Americas Cup.
That could almost be a trick question. The first race, put on by the Brits in 1851, wasn't called the America's Cup. However, it was won by a boat called America, and subsequent races for that trophy became known as the America's Cup race. The winner of the next race, the first race known as the America's Cup race, was a boat named Magic. So, the answer to your question could be either America or Magic depending on which you consider to be the first America's Cup race.
