Mrs. Charles Frances Adams Cup - Sailing An annual competition for the United States Women's Sailing Championship that ran from 1924-2011, we celebrate those who competed and supported this event.

The Mrs. Charles Frances Adams Cup, or "Adams Cup" for short, was the competition for the United States Women's Sailing Championship. Run by US Sailing, eliminations were held throughout the country, and the finals were raced in a different type of boat each year to eliminate any advantage a sailor from any particular class might otherwise have. Competitors sailed boats provided by the host club, and teams were required to race each boat at the event once so that nobody will have an advantage in terms of equipment - similar to high school and collegiate sailing. The Adams Cup was first held in 1924 and was raced annually until 2011. Now retired, the Mrs. Charles Frances Adams Trophy is now on display in the Reading Room of the Tom Morris Library at the National Sailing Hall of Fame.
