What is the longest winning streak in sport?

As no two sports are the same, I suppose you can go with longest unbeaten run. I don't know about any others, but Arsenal's total season's 38 league games in a row last season without losing has to come near the top (ugh!). Jul 01 04, 12:38 PM

The U.S.A. held the America's Cup yachting trophy for 132 years, from 1861 until 1983. An Australian boat won it from them to end their streak. See: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/America's_Cup They regained it in 1987, but lost it to New Zealand in 1995, who in turn lost it to a Swiss syndicate in 2003. Jul 01 04, 5:27 PM

A Yay to RogerWnz1. That was the answer I was looking for. Jul 02 04, 2:07 PM

Exactly. The question as I posted it is in the same wording as it was given at my monthly trivia meeting. I was the only one who thought it was the America's Cup. Jul 03 04, 11:08 AM

Was the America's cup always contested between nations over this period, or were multiple US entrants allowed. Arsenal's great run is not technically a winning streak. I would throw up Australian Cricket side's 16 consecutive test victories spanning two years, not interrupted by a draw, which blew the previous record out of the water. Jul 04 04, 3:51 AM

If the question does not have a definitive answer, why has it been answered correctly by two different people? Jul 07 04, 12:16 PM

No I don't. I got it correct in my trivia meeting. AND RogerW1nz got it correct here. Two different people with the EXACT same answer in two different places. Jul 08 04, 12:10 PM
