EXPECTED FOR 4 YEARS, THE 36TH EDITION OF THE AMERICA CUP STARTS THIS WEEK

After more than a month of competition, the Prada Cup has chosen its winner: Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, who won 7-1 against the English Ineos Team UK in the final. For the third time in its history, Italy has won its ticket to the America’s Cup final and thus finds, le Defender Emirates Team New Zealand.

In 2017, in the turquoise waters of Bermuda, the New Zealanders knocked out the Defender, Oracle Team USA, by winning 7 to 1. Four years later, Peter Burling – the youngest coxswain to win the competition – and his team, still seem formidable. But Luna Rossa has a revenge to take: 21 years ago the Italians lost in the America’s Cup against… New Zealand.

Two regattas per day are scheduled in Hauraki Bay off Auckland. The first to 7 wins will be designated the winner. Aggressive departures, pure match-race, the bar of 60 knots maybe crossed, the spectacle will be there!

To find alongside Hélène Cougoule in the comments, Thierry Fouchier, winner of the America’s Cup in 2010 with the Americans of BMWOracle.

The regattas can be followed live from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. on CANAL + and myCANAL. The reruns and highlights can be found on CANAL + SPORT, the competition reports on INFOSPORT +, as well as the exclusive content available on myCANAL.

Back to the night from Monday to Tuesday
On its Auckland waterway, Team New Zealand won on Tuesday in a particularly fierce regatta to extend its lead to 6-3 in the legendary event which is played out over seven winning rounds. A change of wind before the 10th round, however, convinced the organizers to postpone it until Wednesday. Team New Zealand has already won the America’s Cup three times (1995, 2000, 2017), while the Italians try to become the second European team to win the event, after the Swiss Alinghi in 2003 and 2007.
