Du 4 juillet au 1er septembre 2013.
The first three stages of the competition will be used to select four semi finalists:
Series 1: A series of 4 fleet races. Each race will score 10 points for the winner, 6 points for second place, 2 points for third place. No points are awarded for subsequent places.
Series 2: A Round Robin Match Race Series. The winner of each race will score 10 points, the loser no points.
Series 3: A Round Robin Match Race Series. The winner of each race will score 12 points, the loser no points.
The top four teams at the conclusion of these first three series will proceed to the semi finals, with the top ranked challenger racing the fourth place team and the second ranked team racing the third placed.
In the semi finals, each match win is worth one point and the winner of each pairing will be the first team to win four points.
These two winners will then face each other in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final, where the first team to win five points (one point per win) will become the challenger and proceed to the America's Cup Finals to meet the defender.
