For the event, Louis Vuitton has created bespoke Trophy Trunks, meticulously handcrafted at its atelier in Asnières and designed to symbolise the reverence for the event’s heritage while embracing a modern ethos. These trunks will cradle the iconic Auld Mug (the revered trophy of the America’s Cup and considered the oldest international sporting trophy in the world) alongside the Louis Vuitton Cup, a testament to the challenger’s spirit.
Pietro Beccari, President and CEO of Louis Vuitton, encapsulates the sentiment, remarking on the grandeur and synergy between the event’s audacious spirit and the ethos of Louis Vuitton. “It is with an immense sense of pride that we return to this historical competition as Title Partner,” he says. “Port Vell will be the setting for a display of elegance and power, where teams will compete with boldness, talent and mastery on increasingly innovative yachts. These values equally reflect the spirit of Louis Vuitton and its artisans.”
As the curtain rises on next year’s event, the Louis Vuitton-sponsored 37th America’s Cup will see the esteemed French Maison, renowned for its legacy of innovation and refinement, embark on another voyage steeped in tradition as it continues to make its mark in annals of sailing history.
