After the decisive seventh victory, cheers erupt among Team New Zealand and the many spectators in the harbor of Auckland, New Zealand.

In the end, the New Zealanders won with 7 to 3 races against the challengers Luna Rossa from Italy and secured the oldest international sailing trophy in the world.

The Italian team was a worthy opponent and ensured that the races on the water remained exciting. The first three days of racing each ended in a draw. It was not until the fourth day that Team New Zealand was able to pull away with a double victory. Their boat "Te Rehutai" showed amazing speed on the courses. In the ninth race, strong nerves were needed. Rapidly shifting winds and repeated lead changes thrilled the spectators. Finally, Team New Zealand won the race. On the following day, the Kiwis did not miss a beat and took their decisive seventh victory.
