America's Cup Management

America's Cup Management (ACM) was a private company established to organize and oversee the 2007 America's Cup, the 32nd edition of the prestigious sailing competition. The company was formed by Ernesto Bertarelli, the principal of the Swiss syndicate Alinghi, following the team's victory in the 2003 America's Cup. As the Cup Defender, Alinghi was granted the authority to define the structure, rules, and logistics of the subsequent competition, a role traditionally held by the reigning champion.

ACM was responsible for a wide range of organizational tasks, including selecting the host city, setting the event dates, managing media and broadcasting rights, determining boat design specifications, and overseeing entry procedures. The 2007 America's Cup was hosted in Valencia, Spain, marking the first time the competition was held in Europe.

Although ACM operated under the authority of the Defender, the planning and rule-making processes were conducted in consultation with the Challenger of Record, which for the 2007 edition was the Golden Gate Yacht Club, represented by BMW Oracle Racing (United States).
