After the America’s Cup the first real match race took place at the Omega Gold Cup in Bermuda in the year 1937. It was considered the first real match race, because it was sailed in one design boats (boats that are all exactly identical as they were built and managed by the same people), while the America’s Cup is a box rule which allows each of the boats to be different speeds. The skipper whom won this regatta was Briggs Cunningham.
