Sailing

Founded in 1851, the America’s Cup is, apparently, the oldest international competition still operating in any sport. Quite a claim. The first-to-seven wins yacht race takes place this week off Barcelona, between Taihoro – representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron – and Britannia – representing the UK’s Royal Yacht Squadron. It is 50 years since the United Kingdom last sailed in an America’s Cup match. – Oct 12th-20th, TNT Sports

Soccer

Snooker

The Northern Ireland Open begins at the weekend in Belfast. England’s Jude Trump is the reigning champion and the world number one will be at the Waterford Hall to defend his title.
