Today
The Citizen Cup was discontinued after the 1995 regatta. Beginning with the 2000 America's Cup the defending yacht club has opted not to hold a defense selection regatta because the countries that have won the America's Cup, New Zealand and Switzerland, have not had the resources to field multiple teams.
Its is unclear yet if the 2010 America's Cup winner, the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, will hold a defender's cup, or simply retain the winning BMW Oracle Racing team.
