| Location |
The Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai was the fourth in a scheduled series of regattas that compete for the Louis Vuitton Trophy. The regatta occurred in Dubai between 14–27 November 2010. The Louis Vuitton Trophy format uses existing International America's Cup Class yachts loaned to the regatta by various America's Cup racing syndicates, keeping costs relatively low for the competing teams.
The Louis Vuitton Trophy was organised after the success of the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series and the continued legal battle surrounding the America's Cup yachting competition at the time. Because of the long delays from the legal action, and the fact that the 2010 America's Cup became a Deed of Gift match without a defender or challenger selection series, the Louis Vuitton Trophy series was established as a competition for other America's Cup racing syndicates.
The Dubai event was hosted by Dubai International Marine Club and sponsored by the airline Emirates.
The Yachts
The event used four International America's Cup Class yachts loaned specifically for the event. For Dubai, the boats were supplied by Team New Zealand (NZL-84 & NZL-92) and BMW Oracle Racing (USA-87 & USA-98).
Teams
Six teams participated in the Dubai event, down from the eight teams that appeared in the earlier Nice Côte d’Azur and Auckland Louis Vuitton Trophy regattas, and the ten teams that competed in La Maddalena.
