America's Cup is one of the oldest among sports cups and trophies. The competition dates back to the mid-19th century, ahead of the enchanting return of the famous Olympic Games. The silver pitcher, the goblet for the winner, was named after the ship America, which was the first to receive the award.
The entire 160-year history of these competitions is not full of special diversity.
