The painting commemorates the historic victory of the schooner America in the Royal Yacht Squadron's 100 Guinea Cup race around the Isle of Wight, which took place on August 22, 1851. This event marked the beginning of what would become the prestigious America's Cup, the oldest international sporting trophy.

Lane, a prominent figure in the American Luminism movement, was known for his meticulous marine paintings that often featured the interplay of light and atmosphere. In this artwork, he captures the America as she crosses the finish line, ahead of her British competitors, showcasing his skill in rendering the vessel's sleek design and the sea's reflective surface. The painting's composition, with the America prominently in the foreground, reflects a sense of national pride and celebrates the burgeoning American maritime prowess of the era.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance, as it documents a pivotal moment in yachting history. Lane's attention to detail and his ability to convey the excitement and significance of the race have made "The Yacht 'America' Winning the International Race" an iconic piece of American art from the mid-19th century.
