It will be the 3rd Time in the last 17 Years the Cup will be defended away from the Defenders Home Waters.
After winning in 2003 Swiss Syndicate Alinghi was forced to defend it in Valencia since they did have an open water course.
After defending it in 2013 Oracle Team USA took the AC to Bermuda
And it 2024 in will be defended in Barcelona by Emirates Team New Zealand because the didn't have sufficient funding.
Barcelona is a brillant City though.

Illiniwek:
Very bizarre. The America's Cup has been such a big deal for New Zealand its hard to believe they couldn't benefit from having the Cup in Auckland. But sailing is a difficult spectator sport, so maybe it it isn't really a good investment even if the country turns out well to support the team.
Anyway, Barcelona will be great. I've wondered why sailing hasn't been more of a thing there.

I added some Key Dates to the Competition (Dates) courtesy of the AC37 Protocol :)
2016:
@Illiniwek
I've started to add some Team Profiles of the Teams that have been accepted and will compete.
Feel free to ask Questions though I'm not sure that I can answer them all. I was a Data Analyst as part of the INEOS TEAM UK British Challenge during the 36th America's Cup. We lost 1-7 in the Challenger Final to the Italians who went on to lose to the Kiwis by 3-7 in the Cup Match itself.
Unfortunately for me Mercedes GP and their Applied Science Division took over our Team for AC37 so I was out of a job :(
