Notes:
The first Junior Finn World Championship was held in Melbourne in 1999 following the demand from the growing number of junior sailors in the class for their own world championship.
Intitally this was combined with the senior Gold Cup and the results extracted. In 2007, the Junior Worlds was sailed as an independent event for the first time using the Finns of the Moscow Sailing School and was a great success. Since 2009, it has been held as an independent championship, attracting large numbers from across the world.
In 2003, on the occasion of the senior Finn Gold Cup in Rio, The Brazilian Olympic Committee presented the IFA with the 'Jorg Bruder Silver Cup', a perpetual trophy as a memorial to the late great Finn sailor from Brazil. Since then the event has been known as the Silver Cup.
The only sailors to win the cup twice are Chris Brittle from Great Britain in 2001 and 2002, and Jorge Zarif from Brazil in 2009 and 2013. The largest number of entries was in 2009, where 51 boats competed.
In 2016 the Junior World Championship was rebranded as the U23 Finn World Championship.
