Peter Burling, third from left, leads the celebrations for Team NZ as they complete their latest America s Cup triumph.
The Auld Mug is Aotearoa’s Mug and the America’s Cup remains New Zealand’s Cup because Te Rehutai ultimately had a gear that Luna Rossa simply could not match. That gave Team NZ a memorable 7-3 victory to secure their fourth America’s Cup triumph, and their second defence of the Auld Mug. It also made Peter Burling the most successful skipper in the event’s history as he tucked away his 15th race win to leave Russell Coutts and Jimmy Spithill in his wake.
