King Edward VII Gold Cup
October 7 - 12
Hamilton Harbour, City of Hamilton, Pembroke

This year marks the 101st Anniversary of the first Gold Cup Regatta. The King Edward VII Gold Cup is the oldest match-racing trophy in the world for competition involving 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 meter 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.

Race Schedule: Times of events are on the website www.bermudagoldcup.com.
