The biggest event of the summer is right around the corner - and we’ve got some exciting updates about what’s in store for Auckland!

Kia Ora,

It seems like a lifetime ago that Emirates Team New Zealand claimed the America’s Cup in Bermuda, and many of us probably thought this day would never come. But here we are – two days away from the official start of the 36th America’s Cup presented by PRADA! The Cup Village is open and it’s time for Auckland and New Zealand to come together once again and celebrate. Here’s what you need to know.

Get in on the action with lots of ways to watch!

With races sailed closer to the shore than ever before, the 36th America’s Cup will be the most accessible in the event’s recent history. So, whether you’re keen to watch on-land, online, in the Cup Village or even on the water, there are plenty of ways to experience the thrill and vibrancy of the racing.

We love our volunteers! And we’re on the lookout for more.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of major events, playing a crucial role in supporting the city, residents and visitors during exceptionally busy times. Find out more about our amazing City Skippers and the role they play in the 36th America’s Cup in this behind-the-scenes video from our recent training night.

If you’re among the one in four New Zealanders with an access need, be sure to check out our new resource, Access Information for Racegoers. We’ve teamed up with Be. Lab to outline everything access citizens need to know to get to and from the Cup Village and participate meaningfully in the 36th America’s Cup. Think we’ve missed something? There’s also a query form and access hotline you can call.
