Early Challengers Emerge for 37th America's Cup

3rd December 2021

The 37th America's Cup seems to be attracting multiple early challengers.

The defender Emirates Team New Zealand claims to have already received "several challenges" immediately after the opening of registrations on December 1st.

The New Zealand press cites entries submitted by the Swiss from Alinghi and, confirmed by Max Sirena the skipper of Luna Rossa.

As Afloat reported last month, Cork Harbour is still in the running to stage sailing's biggest prize. An alternative proposal for the staging of the next America’s Cup in Cork could save the State some €80 million. More here.
