The CITIZEN CUP 1992 The U.S. A. were the official defender of the AC. Since two syndicates sponsored by the San Diego Yacht Club, competed for the defence, a Defender Selection Series  had to be organized to determine the  Defender of the AC. The event got its name from the Japanese watch maker and sponsor CITIZEN
The yachts sailed 4 Round Robins (RR1-RR4 where points were collected) and the Final. RR 1: USA-11 against Jayhawk and Defiant , RR 2: USA-11 versus Defiant and America3. RR 3: the same opponents as RR2 RR 4: USA-11 against America3 and Kanza. Final: America3 USA-23 wins against  Stars & Stripes USA-11 and becomes official defender.
