America's Cup

The future of Team New Zealand is looking grim after the announcement today that there will be no America's Cup pre-regatta for Auckland.

Team New Zealand have announced today that former helmsman Dean Barker has decided not to accept a new position offered by the yachting syndicate.

A furious Dean Barker has called in the lawyers as the bitter battle over his future with Team New Zealand intensifies.

Team New Zealand's moves to elevate Peter Burling to helmsman over long-serving skipper Dean Barker is natural selection at work.

With just two days to go before the next America's Cup venue is announced, Minister Steven Joyce has confirmed it would be harder to justify government funding if the venue were Bermuda in 2017.

A long-serving member of Team New Zealand has broken ranks to become the first to question publicly the legality of Oracle Team USA's boat during the last America's Cup.

Team New Zealand have been told to stay away from a meeting in London next week between potential challengers and America's Cup holders Oracle Team USA.

The lack of clarity from holders Oracle Team USA around the next America's Cup looks to have cost organisers its challenger of record.

Team New Zealand has pocketed about $10 million from private donors to keep it afloat and prepare it to mount a challenge for the next America's Cup.

Team New Zealand are expected to confirm this week they will challenge for the 35th America's Cup.

Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton was on about $2 million a year during the last America's Cup campaign.

The America's Cup will not be returning to San Francisco.

Dunedin company Animation Research Ltd (ARL) is celebrating the Sports Emmy Award nomination of an app produced on a shoestring budget.

Team NZ boss Grant Dalton says skipper Dean Barker was "ambushed'' when he made critical comments about his role in last year's America's Cup campaign.

''If Dean Barker is not driving Emirates Team New Zealand's boat in 2017 - and Dean will be very much involved in that decision - Peter Burling will have to take it from him."

The recent America's Cup regatta was far more than a sporting spectacle, it was a business success story for New Zealand, says Dunedin businessman Ian Taylor. Here, the man behind Animation Research offers insight and opinion on the campaign.

Forget the word "comeback". Oracle Team USA are now in full flight in a charge to wrest the 34th America's Cup back from Emirates Team New Zealand.

The future of Team New Zealand is in doubt and team boss Grant Dalton thinks his association with the America's Cup is over after Oracle retained the Auld Mug in San Francisco this morning.
