Wasn’t the question about “annual” events?

The America’s Cup has many long multi-year breaks and even now is competed every 3/4 years.  If we’re disqualifying the Preakness and Belmont for missing two years then what are we doing with the ACs 19 and 17 year gaps?

Here's the original question. The original question was about "continuously held annual sporting events."  The third question was about the oldest international sporting competition still held in any sport and was not constricted by regularity.

What is the oldest continuously held annual sporting event in the United States?

What is the second-oldest continuously held annual sporting event in the United States?

What is the oldest international sporting competition still held in any sport?
