The America\'s Cup, affectionately known as the \"Auld Mug\", is a trophy awarded to the winner of the America\'s Cup match races between two sailing yachts. One yacht, known as the defender, represents the yacht club that currently holds the America\'s Cup and the second yacht, known as the challenger, represents the yacht club that is challenging for the cup.The timing of each match is determined by an agreement between the defender and the challenger. The America\'s Cup is the oldest international sporting trophy. It will next be raced for in the southern summer, in the early part of 2021.
The 1983 America\'s Cup was the occasion of the first winning challenge to the New York Yacht Club, which had successfully defended the cup over a period of 132 years. An Australian syndicate representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club fielded the Australia II, skippered by John Bertrand, against defender Liberty, skippered by Dennis Conner. Australia II won the match races to win the America\'s Cup, ending the longest winning streak in sporting history and ending U.S. domination of the racing series.
The G.H.Mumm champagne business dates back to 1827. The Mumm Family managed their business with a single goal: controlling grape quality by retaining \"Nothing but the best\". Then they created another of the firm’s strongest assets, a privileged partnership with vine-growers situated on the best Champagne terroirs. Almost a hundred years later, these \"fine locations\"would be renamed \"Grands Crus\". Today the company sells over eight million bottles of Champagne per year. Mumm Chmpagne was one of the sponsors of the America’s Cup final races held in Newport, Rhode Island in 1983.
