The Louis Vuitton Trophy La Maddalena was the third in a scheduled series of regattas that form the Louis Vuitton Trophy. The regatta occurred in La Maddalena between 22 May - 6 June 2010.[1] The regatta used loaned International America's Cup Class yachts.
The Louis Vuitton Trophy series was formed after the legal battles around the 2010 America's Cup and the success of the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series in Auckland in 2009. The La Maddalena event was hosted by Mascalzone Latino and the Reale Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia.
The Yachts
The event used International America's Cup Class yachts loaned specifically for the event. For La Maddalena, the boats were supplied by BMW Oracle Racing (USA 87 and USA 98) and Mascalzone Latino Audi Team (ITA 90 and ITA 99).
USA 87 and 98 were damaged on day four when they collided.[2] They were unavailable for the rest of the regatta.
Teams
La Maddalena boasted the biggest fleet to date in a Louis Vuitton Trophy, with ten syndicates competing.

* Mascalzone Latino deducted a point for a 'hard contact' incident in their race against All4One.[3]
* Aleph was immediately deducted a point for 'hard contact' when there boat collided with Azzura causing serious damage on day four. The international jury then deducted Aleph three further points for failing to avoid contact. The jury absolved Azzurra fully for the incident.[4]
- BMW Oracle Racing vs Team New Zealand was originally sailed on the 28 May with BMW Oracle winning the match after Team New Zealand was penalised for not maintaining enough tension on their forestay. Team New Zealand immediately appealed the ruling but the international jury was unable to award them redress.[5] The rule was removed from the book the next day and it was decided to resail the race.[6] BMW Oracle then asked for redress but that was denied by the jury.[7] Team New Zealand won the resail on the 30 May.
Elimination Finals
3 - 6 June
The final series was originally scheduled to use the McIntyre Final Eight System, as in Auckland. However due to the loss of several days of racing, due to weather and the collision between USA 87 and USA 98, the finals were rescheduled to consist of knock out semi finals and a final.[8] One quarterfinal was raced before the format was changed. The higher ranked team from each quarterfinal that was abandoned automatically advanced into the semifinals. The petit finale to decide third place was also canceled.
