The Prada Cup Final

The Prada Cup Final is a series of races that determine which team will compete against Team New Zealand in the America’s Cup. This year, three teams are competing in the final: INEOS TEAM UK, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, and American Magic.

Round Robin

The first phase of the Prada Cup Final was the Round Robin. In this phase, each team raced against each other twice for a total of six races.

The team with the most points at the end of this phase advanced directly to the final. That team was Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team.

Semifinals

The two remaining teams – INEOS TEAM UK and American Magic – then competed in the semifinals. This was a best-of-seven series, meaning that the first team to win four races would advance to face Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team in the final.

Finals

Now that we know which two teams are competing in the final – Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team and either INEOS TEAM UK or American Magic – let’s talk about how many races there will be.

The final is also a best-of-seven series. The team that wins four races first will be declared the winner and will go on to compete against Team New Zealand for the America’s Cup itself.
