If Oracle Team USA have to hand over the America's Cup to Team New Zealand, few outside the syndicate would be more devastated than Elizabeth Murphy.
For the past three years Murphy's life has revolved around the Cup, earning her the moniker "the Trophy Wife".
An executive producer of special events at Oracle, she is responsible for managing the security, travel and operational logistics around the Cup's appearances, which, with 10-15 requests a week, has become virtually a full-time undertaking.
There are press conferences, photo shoots, video shoots, sponsor appearances, special events, dinners and the like - all of which require painstaking planning. Every time the Cup travels somewhere there are two security guards on hand.
"We have a communications plan in place so we know where she is at all times. We know when she is leaving a location and we know when she arrives. There are a lot of safety nets in place," said Murphy.
