The Terminologia de la Copa Amèrica ('Vocabulary of the America's Cup') is a glossary prepared jointly by the Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation and TERMCAT on the occasion of the America's Cup organized in Barcelona in 2024.

It contains 81 terms related to sailing concepts (just basic America's Cup concepts), the competition itself (who the participants are, how it is held and how it is regulated) and sailboats (types of sailboats, its parts and elements and crew). All these terms have been completed and reviewed by specialists in the field proposed by the Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation.

Each terminological entry contains the preferred denomination in Catalan and the corresponding synonyms, if any: equivalents in Spanish, French, Italian and English; a definition in Catalan and often explanatory notes. It also includes the thematic area or areas each term belongs to.

Clicking on "Consulta de termes" (‘Term search’), terms can be looked up in three ways: using the alphabetical indexes (there is a different index for each language), using the thematic access or making simple or advanced searches in the upper space "Text de la consulta" (‘Text search’) in any of the dictionary languages.
