The 2013 Red Bull Youth America's Cup was the inaugural Youth Americas Cup and was held in San Francisco, California from 1–4 September alongside the 34th America's Cup. The Youth America's Cup used the America's Cup 45 AC45F class, a one-design foiling wingsail catamaran designed by Oracle Racing. The yachts have 6 crew on board with teams having one additional substitute (skipper, helm, strategist, main trimmer, jib trimmer and bow). All athletes were aged between 19 and 24 years old.
Teams
Five teams were selected as they were sponsored by the teams competing in the America's Cup World Series and the other five were selected from other nations worldwide.
10 teams entered into a total of 8 fleet races, although the eighth race was cancelled due to wind speed exceeding the 18-knot limit.
