Americas Cup 2020 Corporate Hospitality

Let the racing begin!

36TH AMERICA'S CUP - AUCKLAND 2021 - CORPORATE HOSPITALITY PACKAGES

There is an inescapable, unavoidable, nerve-racking moment in every America's Cup, the moment when years of planning, scheming, designing, building, and training lies behind you, and the day finally arrives when you find out whether you got it right!

“It's a unique moment in every America's Cup, part of the event's DNA,” says Emirates Team New Zealand boss, Grant Dalton.  “The moment when sailors, designers, fans, commentators - everybody really - gets the answer to the same question, at exactly the same time, when the Challenger meets the Defender on the start line for the very first finals race the boats come off the line, foot flat, and we all get a first, good look at whether one has an edge over the other.  A classic America's Cup moment.”

On 6th of March 2021 that moment will have arrived.  The 36th America's Cup Match is set to begin with Emirates Team New Zealand, the successful Defender, having won the right to host from Oracle Team USA, ready to take on the Challenger - the successful winner of the Prada Cup.

The pristine waters of the Hauraki Gulf are set to explode in a rush of  adrenaline fueled, high octane racing as these massive boats (AC75's) go head to head to be the first to win seven races.

“The America's Cup is the pinnacle of sailing, so to be in that position to be racing for the Cup, that's an incredible opportunity,” says INEOS Team UK skipper, Sir Ben Ainslie.  “There's always a lot of pressure but if you enjoy that kind of thing then there's no better platform in the sport of sailing.”

The day is coming when there is no holding back, no reining in, a day when everything will be on show, because every win, and every point, is vital.  That day - March 6, 2021 - is fast approaching.  Who will hold up the oldest trophy in sport – the Auld Mug?

Make sure you are there to see all the action, first-hand.  See the races up close and personal with an official corporate hospitality package.
