America's Cup

Emirates Team New Zealand christened their first AC75 at their team base in Auckland today.  The Defender is the first America’s Cup team to launch the first generation of the 75-foot foiling monohull  that will be racing in less than 250 days in Cagliari for the America’s Cup World Series Sardegna. 

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron has advised that today they received a notice from the Royal Malta Yacht Club officially withdrawing the Malta Altus Challenge from the 36^th America’s Cup.

The second round of structural testing of the one design AC75 foil arms has successfully been conducted at Persico Marine in Italy this week.

The America’s Cup Arbitration Panel decision finding all three Late Entry challenges to be valid has been released today.

The America's cup of the Auld Mug is a sailing race or regatta, first held in 1851. It is considered by many to be the oldest international sporting event. In any case, it is the oldest trophy that is still being fought for. Here you find the complete list of America's Cup winners all-time.

Musto, globally renowned for its high-performance sailing gear, has been named the Exclusive Official Technical Sailing Apparel Sponsor of Stars + Stripes, challenger for the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada.

They say the years get faster and this is guaranteed in every America’s Cup cycle. 2018 has just flown by and it has already been almost one year since the AC75 Class Rule was published. More than enough time for teams to have dissected every detail and produce designs for their build teams to be well into production of their AC75.

Emirates Team New Zealand is proud to have Steinlager return as an Official Sponsor and Official Beer Partner of Emirates Team New Zealand’s for the defence of the 36th America’s Cup - here on home waters in Auckland in 2021.

In late August 2012, a grainy photo of a boat emerged online. Most hardened America’s Cup followers will clearly remember the image that was the talk of the sailing world for many weeks. A high angle shot, looking down on a giant 72 foot red and black Emirates Team New Zealand catamaran seemingly flying above the waters of the Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour.

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is pleased to confirm that the identity of the 5th accepted challenger for the 36th America's Cup is the Long Beach Yacht Club, another historic and internationally respected yacht club.
