FROM TRADITION TO TRANSFORMATION: A HISTORIC AMERICA’S CUP IN BARCELONA

Europe was again the venue as the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron took the Cup to Barcelona for the 37th America’s Cup Match. INEOS Britannia won the Louis Vuitton Cup for the first time in Britain’s history and faced down Emirates Team New Zealand. It wasn’t to be. 173 years after the Cup was first fought for in British waters, it wasn’t set to return in 2024 as the Kiwis retained with a 7-2 scoreline in AC75 monohulls. Emirates Team New Zealand became the first consistent team to win three consecutive Cups.
