Up to 5 days under the very best circumstances--very strong sperm, good fertile egg-white cervical mucus, no illness in either partner, etc. About 2 days is the average though.

Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. That's why most pregnancies result from fertilization by sperm that have been waiting in a woman's reproductive tract days before the release of her egg — ovulation — takes place.
Outside the body — where they're not being nourished and protected by a woman's cervical mucus and vaginal secretions, or the warmth and moisture of a man's urethra and reproductive tract — sperm die anywhere between a half an hour to four hours after being ejaculated. If the ejaculate has dried out, or has been wiped or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm to worry about.
Hope this information helps!

I believe that sperm can last inside of you for 72 hrs.

up to one week is the max.
however majority will die with 72 hours and the one's that survive will be too weak.
