Local and national politicians and their acolytes appear to have learned little from the past decade or two of America s Cup history, based on their reaction to a Venue Selection Process Hosting Guide developed on behalf of Emirates Team New Zealand
In a statement issued yesterday by the Minister of Tourism and Economic and Regional Development, Stuart Nash stated with the Prada Cup underway, and the Match yet to start, it’s too early to start talking about what may or may not happen with the next event. We are committed to supporting America’s Cup Event Limited and Emirates Team New Zealand deliver a successful 36th America’s Cup.
The full statement was so carefully crafted that it stopped short of being an apology. But an apology it was, as it should have been. Quick rewind : In 2017, largely self-funded, Team New Zealand won the America’s Cup. It won the both trophy and the ownership of its next defence, which it brought back to Auckland. As occurred in 2000 and 2003, the team signed a detailed agreement with the government, securing the event for Auckland, with the Government contributing $40 million towards the cost of staging the cup. The “super-ministry” MBIE with tourism, and economic development among its roles became the “partner” of Team New Zealand, and the sister company America’s Cup Event Limited (ACE).
