The 1987 America’s Cup was the twenty-sixth challenge for the America’s Cup.

The American challenger Stars & Stripes 87, sailed by Dennis Conner, beat the Australian defender Kookaburra III, sailed by Iain Murray, in a four-race sweep in the best of seven series. Conner became the first person both to lose the America’s Cup and then to win it back.

The series was held in Gage Roads off Fremantle, Western Australia. The Royal Perth Yacht Club was the defending club and the organiser of the defence series.

This was the last time that 12-metre class yachts were used in the America’s Cup and the first time for 132 years that it had not been defended by the New York Yacht Club.
