The 2017 Red Bull Youth America's Cup was the 2nd Youth Americas Cup and was held in Bermuda from 12 - 21 June. The Youth America's Cup used the America's Cup 45 AC45F class, a one-design foiling wingsail catamaran designed by Oracle Racing. The yachts have 6 crew onboard with teams having one additional substitute (skipper, helm, strategist, main trimmer, jib trimmer and bow). All athletes were aged between 19-24, and teams could choose to include female athletes, although, only Land Rover BAR did so.
Group A
Twelve teams are split into two pools of six for an initial fleet racing series. The 6 clubs that entered the America's Cup challenger series of that year and 6 have been invited to participate. The top four of each division then progress to the final series of 6 fleet races.
