Inaugurated in 2003, the Jugra Cup marked the creation of the Premier Cruising Class in the Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta reflecting the growing appeal of the Regatta to this class of yachts. The title "Jugra" is derived part from the name of the yacht in which, the Regatta patron then, His Highness The Raja Muda Of Selangor (now His Royal Highness The Sultan Of Selangor) circumnavigated the world from 1996 to 1997 and in part from the former royal capital of Selangor state located on Jugra hill, a landmark well known to navigation. It is awarded to the overall winning boat in the Premier Cruising Class in the Regatta.
