Its name conjures stormy seas, courageous crews, and entrepreneurs willing to risk everything.

This Art Edition, produced in collaboration with Louis Vuitton and designer Marc Newson, features a case crafted from cotton sailcloth, fitted with a custom-made Louis Vuitton metal closure, plus a carbon fiber bookstand resembling the keel of a sailboat , in a salute to the technology that defines the sport. The story of the Cup began in 1851, when the schooner America stunned the British fleet , winning a race around the Isle of Wight. The crew renamed the trophy in honor of their boat, declaring it a ‘perpetual challenge cup’ .

Today, Australia, New Zealand, and even landlocked Switzerland have claimed the ‘Auld Mug,’ proving that no champion is ever safe. This very special edition, packed with rare archival material, unseen photographs, technical data and expert insight s, celebrates the teams, tactics, and technology behind the world’s most prestigious yacht race. This isn’t just a chronicle of a competition— it’s a saga of human ambition, bravery, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of victory at all costs . Art Edition (No. 1–175), signed by Marc Newson.
