In July 2007, Coutts was named CEO and [[Skipper (boating)|skipper]] of [[BMW Oracle Racing]], sponsored by [[Golden Gate Yacht Club]] (GGYC), the United States Challenger to the [[2010 America's Cup]]. He was involved in the pre-match litigation between the challengers Golden Gate Yacht Club and [[Société Nautique de Genève]] (SNG), in which the court decided that the GGYC was the rightful Challenger of Record. Cup Defender SNG's team was [[Alinghi]]. Coutts' yacht [[USA 17 (yacht)|USA]] beat the defending yacht [[Alinghi 5]] by considerable margins in both races.<ref>{{cite web |title=America's Cup |url=http://www.americascup.com/en/actualite/news/first-blood-to-usa-19-2362 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215214302/http://www.americascup.com/en/actualite/news/first-blood-to-usa-19-2362 |archive-date=15 February 2010 |access-date=14 February 2010}}</ref><ref name="r2">{{cite web |title=America's Cup |url=http://www.americascup.com/en/actualite/news/usa-win-33rd-america-s-cup-match-19-2827 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100217034202/http://www.americascup.com/en/actualite/news/usa-win-33rd-america-s-cup-match-19-2827 |archive-date=17 February 2010 |access-date=14 February 2010}}</ref>

Most observers stated that USA 17's [[Sail#Types|rigid wing sail]] had given it a decisive advantage.<ref name="tdgr1">{{cite web |title=America's Cup |url=http://www.tdg.ch/actu/sports/demonstration-puissance-oracle-brise-reve-alinghi-2010-02-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927205254/http://www.tdg.ch/actu/sports/demonstration-puissance-oracle-brise-reve-alinghi-2010-02-12 |archive-date=27 September 2011 |access-date=21 April 2012}}</ref>

Coutts again led the Oracle Team as CEO in the next America's Cup match against [[Emirates Team New Zealand]]. This match took place in the bay of San Francisco in September 2013. Oracle managed to come back from 8 races to 1 by winning the following 8 races and to defend the cup in the longest America's cup match ever. Both skipper James Spithill and team owner Larry Ellison praised Coutts' role in the defense of the oldest trophy in sports history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Resurgent Spithill sings Russell Coutts' praises |url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/americas-cup/9203491/Resurgent-Spithill-sings-Russell-Coutts-praises |access-date=14 February 2016 |work=[[Stuff (website)|Stuff]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Yacht Magazin |title="Das war wie ein Märchen" – YACHT.DE |url=http://www.yacht.de/sport/americas_cup/das-war-wie-ein-maerchen/a83509.html |access-date=14 February 2016 |work=YACHT.de}}</ref>
