International Catamaran Challenge Trophy

The International Catamaran Challenge Trophy is the formal name for the more familiarly known Little Americas Cup and started in 1961 as a match racing series between two C Class catamarans ^{[http://www.team-invictus.co.uk/ICCC/CClass/c-class.htm]} , modelled on the Americas Cup series for yachts. In 2003 it changed its format, retaining match racing and moving from the increasingly rare C Class to the F-18HT catamaran

Race results of the original series

Races dwindled. They were held 12 times between 1961-1973, eight times between 1974-1989 and only twice in the old C Class format since 1989.
