Auckland confirmed as host venue for 36th America’s Cup
Today’s announcement that the event venue and host city agreement has been reached between the Defender - Emirates Team New Zealand and the Auckland Council Governing Body and the New Zealand Government confirms that the 36th edition of the America’s Cup, presented by Prada, will take place in Auckland in March 2021.
The agreement defines the location of the America’s Cup Village, as well as the team bases, and represents a considerable investment in the waterfront area.

Well done, Auckland – bring on AC36!” said Laurent Esquier, CEO of COR 36.
