Recent History
The 2003 event, the last held, was planned to be based in Dún Laoghaire in Ireland, but this was changed at short notice for reasons that are still unclear. In addition, instead of being a competition between national teams, the event was competed between yacht clubs, each with two boats.
The 2005 event was cancelled in April of that year, only months before the event was to be held.
As of April 2008 there was no planned date or format for a next event and the Admiral's Cup's future is uncertain. However the RORC is looking into reviving the event for 2011."RORC Enlist Skandia To Help Revive the Admiral’s Cup". Admiral's Cup.
