Frisco, Co September 10-12, 2008.  International Fly Fishing Tournament to hold a real "Cup" event in the US.  In other parts of the world Cups have heavily promoted and stabilized tourism, the sport of fly fishing, and the resources that have become so vitally important.  Tourism and resource promotion/management have become vital to improving local economies. 

In response to this need The America Cup has been formed.  The America Cup is now a registered non-profit formed in the State of Colorado.  Like sister Cups the America Cup s focus shall be the same, international competition to sponsor good will, grow tourism, and fishery enhancement/protection. As previously mentioned Cup models, benefits for tourism are considerable. These tourism increases benefit local health and wellness, quality of living, use/access/protection of tourism based resources, volunteerism, and international good will. As well, youth focused competition is vital for the growth of the sport, and is of great importance to The America Cup.
