About Emirates Team New Zealand

A professional sailing team based in Auckland, New Zealand, Emirates Team New Zealand’s beginnings were as the New Zealand Challenge for the 1987 America’s Cup held at Fremantle, Australia. As Team New Zealand, it has won the America’s Cup twice – against Stars and Stripes at San Diego in 1995 and successfully defending it against Luna Rossa in 2000 before losing to Alinghi in 2003. A revitalised Emirates Team New Zealand took Alinghi down to the wire at Valencia, Spain, in 2007, losing by only one second in the last race of the match. Since 2007 the team has continued its run of successes – winning the Audi MedCup Season championship in 2009 and 2010 and winning four of five Louis Vuitton Trophy regattas. In 2011 the team focus switched to multihulls finishing the year leading the field after three America’s Cup World Series regattas. The team is challenging for the 34th America’s Cup to be contested at San Francisco in 2013 and is also competing with CAMPER in the 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race which finishes at Galway, Ireland, in a few months.
