The America's Cup is not run every year.

In 1980, America's Cup was held in September 1980 at Newport, Rhode Island. The US defender, Freedom, defeated the Australian challenger, Australia, four races to one.

The next time the America's Cup was held was 1983, That year, America's Cup was the occasion of the first winning challenge to the New York Yacht Club who had successfully defended the cup over a period of 132 years. An Australian syndicate representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club won the match races to win the America's Cup which ended the longest winning streak in sporting history.
