Press Release – Auckland Council
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has congratulated Team New Zealand on their victory and successful defence of the America’s Cup.
“A victory for Team New Zealand in front of a home crowd on Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour is the perfect way to cap off three months of world-class racing in our city,” Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said.
“Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup campaign has been thrilling to watch, with the Kiwis overcoming a strong challenge from Luna Rossa to once again bring home the Cup.
“On behalf of Aucklanders I congratulate Grant Dalton, Peter Burling and the whole crew on their success in retaining the Cup.
