America's Cup 40th Anniversary

Let’s celebrate the America’s Cup anniversary with your stories.

Can you recall the maritime moment that reshaped history four decades ago? The America's Cup, a symbol of triumph and unity, has etched its mark deep into the heart of our port city. The victory of Australia's II transformed Fremantle's fate, turning it from a little-known coastal town into a worldwide hub for sailing.

We invite you to share your own America's Cup story!
