All you need to know ahead of day one of the America's Cup match between Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa:
Racing in the 36th match for sailing's America's Cup between defender Team New Zealand and Italian challenger Luna Rossa will begin today after the relaxation of Covid-19 lockdown regulations in Auckland.
The cup match was due to begin on Saturday but was pushed back to Wednesday when Auckland moved to alert level 3 after a small community outbreak.
The outbreak is now thought to be contained and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Auckland's move to alert level 2 last week. That will allow racing to take place in the best-of-13 race match, albeit without crowds at the cup village or fan zones ashore.
Two races will be sailed today with an off-day Thursday. Racing will continue on the following four days — March 12 to 15 — and continue each day afterwards until one team has won seven races.
Team NZ will go into the clash as favourites, being the defenders and host, but Luna Rossa will be no pushovers having dominated the Prada Cup final 7-1 against Ineos Team UK.
Speaking at the press conference on Tuesday ahead of the first race, Luna Rossa skipper Max Sirena said his team was determined to prove the doubters wrong.
"We took the experience of the past campaign and try and build something different from the past," Sirena said. "Work out where we failed in the past. You really see the changes from the Christmas Cup to the Prada Cup final. We've had a big up and down.
"In the past we never really reacted enough to criticism. People wrote us off every stage. Now we are in the final. People are saying we will need a miracle to beat Team New Zealand. Let's race tomorrow and see what happens."
Team NZ helmsman Peter Burling said he had no regrets in the build-up to the cup match in what has been challenging circumstances.
"I don't have any regrets on what we've done along the way. Incredible campaign," he said. "A lot of changes with Covid, not having the warm-up events. At the end of the day, we're here now and tomorrow we get to race and find out for real."
"Everyone is really ready to go out and race tomorrow," Sirena added. "I said to the team we have nothing to lose. Only to win. I don't know if they are going to be a surprise. But I am more confident than ever going into a race against them."
