2019 or 2021?

[edit]

This page states that it is due to be held in 2019, not 2021. Mz7 (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the America's Cup, the holder of the trophy basically makes all of the rules. As Team New Zealand, the current holder, is not a signatory to the framework agreement referred to in that page, they do not have to abide by it. At the time they indicated that one of the main reasons they didn't sign was because they didn't agree with the proposed two year cycle. Mattlore (talk) 02:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is the framework section even necessary? It feels like too much of the article is spent on a possibility which is now obsolete. If anything, I think this section should be in the article for the last Cup, since the agreement's implementation depended on its result. ScorpiumX (talk) 04:24, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think its worth mentioning that this America's Cup would have been sailed in 2019 in ACC yachts if TNZ hadn't won. However, the section could probably be shortened. Mattlore (talk) 05:00, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
