Emirates Team New Zealand

Since 1851, the America's Cup has represented the pinnacle of sailing, a world-class event in which to discover increasingly cutting-edge designs and technologies in action and propels us towards new frontiers, thanks to the introduction of foiling. For this 37th edition, the adventure began in September 2023 with the first AC Preliminary Regatta and will keep us on the edge of our seats until October 2024 when the 37th America's Cup Match will take place.

It is with a great deal of pride and enthusiasm that we stand side-by-side with the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand as Official Technical Apparel Supplier.

Emirates Team New Zealand

has always stood out in the sailing world for its indomitable spirit and passion for innovation. The Team, led by global legend Grant Dalton and already a four-time winner of the Auld Mug (1995, 2017, 2000, 2021), is ready to defend the world's oldest sporting trophy in Barcelona in October 2024.

Never intimidated, the team has paved the way with avant-garde designs that have shaped the history of the America's Cup.

If there is one clear message to be read in how they sail, it is that great goals can be achieved by trusting in one's values, with tenacity, team spirit, a constant strive towards improvement and by believing in the impossible, conceiving "out of the box" projects that turn out to be as ingenious as they are successful.

What innovations has the Team brought to this edition? Let’s hear it from Kevin Shoebridge.

Emirates Team New Zealand claims the Barcelona Preliminary Regatta

Anticipation and curiosity abounded in the final moments leading up to the AC75s’ first true regatta, in which the boats soared through the air like bullets flying against one another, albeit this time without America's Cup points up for grabs.

Emirates Team New Zealand suffered a single defeat versus 4 wins.

The Preliminary regatta in Barcelona offered the perfect opportunity for teams to pick up on any differences compared to individual training sessions and for spectators and fans to learn/know/understand what this America's Cup edition has in store, an edition focused on speed and in which reaction times will be shorter than ever. Emirates Team New Zealand took first place, demonstrating both speed and precision in match racing before and after the start.

Barcelona Preliminary Regatta: for the first time all teams will race on AC75s

Barcelona Preliminary Regatta

Barcelona is soon to become the first city in history to host an edition of both the Olympic Games and the America's Cup. Starting 22nd August, the first match races will kick off with the Barcelona Preliminary Regatta, a warm-up in view of the Louis Vuitton Cup. This coveted trophy will determine which challenger will take on the defender Emirates Team New Zealand for the Auld Mug. In the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup there is no second: it's win or lose. A tradition that has defined the event for over 173 years.

This is the first battle fought between the new AC75s, a battle that won’t lack for innovation or surprises. After days, months, years of planning, after research, testing, and training, it will finally come down to the moment we have all been waiting for, the head-to-head match races of the Barcelona Preliminary Regatta, scheduled to take place from 22nd to 25th August. During this phase of the competition and the subsequent first round robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup (29th August – 8th September) Emirates Team New Zealand will be able to race against the rest of the teams and then lie in wait until the winner of the LVC final is declared (26th September – 7th October): only then will the team know the face of its challenger for the 37th America's Cup (12th - 27th October).

37th America’s Cup Match: there is no second!

Barcelona’s waters will be the stage for the final act, on which the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand will take up the challenge of the team that will emerge victorious bearing the Louis Vuitton Cup. A match race at supersonic speeds, a one-on-one to claim the Auld Mug. Every manoeuvre, every decision, can change the outcome of this sailing duel where there can be no second place.

Who will be Emirates Team New Zealand's challenger out of Luna Rossa, Alinghi, American Magic, Britannia and Orient Express? We will only know after the first week of October!

Unicredit Youth & Puig Women's America's Cup: the future is now!

DISCOVER THE CREWS

The 37th edition will include an important step forward: the Youth & Puig Women's America's Cup.

Emirates Team New Zealand, the Defender and thus decision-maker when it comes to the rules and formula of the next edition of the America's Cup, has worked to give this event the spotlight it deserves: a commitment that reflects the Team’s vision of an inclusive future for sailing, highlighting young talents and enhancing the role of women throughout the sport.

The Youth America's Cup will be held from 17th to 26th September and the Women’s America's Cup from 5th to 13th October, on board the AC40s, the new one-design class designed by Emirates Team New Zealand and built by McConaghy.

Twelve nations will be taking part, represented by the best talents in their respective categories. New Zealand has also selected five young men and five women, based on their sailing experience, skills, leadership and teamwork qualities and individual motivation.

As of February, they have been training on the AC40s to identify the most suitable roles.

Team training

Emirates Team New Zealand's preparation period is a dance of precision and technical perfection, in which every single element, from tactics to technology, is fundamentally important in defining the course towards Barcelona.

Since February, Emirates Team New Zealand has been in the thick of their summer training programme in Auckland. The Team initially trained with the modified AC 40, known as the 'LEQ12', and then with the new AC 75 boat, launched and built in New Zealand for the 'constructed-in-country' rule. After some "at home" training in the Gulf of Hauraki, the boat will arrive in Barcelona, host city of the 37th America's Cup, after a voyage of almost 50 days.

The countless tests carried out in the period leading up to the launch influenced and characterised the very final choices, including, for example, on the final shape and complex characteristics of the new foils onboard Boat 3.

This was a considerably intense period for the entire team, both at the base at Wynyard Point in Auckland and at the yard in Albany, where the Emirates Team New Zealand boats took shape. As well as for the entire team of builders who worked tirelessly to make the design a reality.

Jeddah, 2nd Preliminary Regatta: Emirates Team New Zealand are victorious

The second preliminary Regattas took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Emirates Team New Zealand (Peter Burling, Nathan Outteridge, Blair Tuke and Andy Maloney) dominated the fleet races, winning five out of the eight races and thus gaining access to the final match race against Luna Rossa.

The Kiwi crew won the start and displayed textbook match racing tactics, keeping the Italian Luna Rossa under control.

Following Emirates Team New Zealand's victory, Peter Burling had this to say: "We put in a lot of effort, so as a team we are obviously thrilled to claim the win we didn't get in Vilanova. This has been a tremendous team effort. There are only four of us onboard, but behind this victory is an enormous team that created this class and this event."
