BARCELONA (Reuters) -New Zealand retained the America's Cup with a 7-2 series win over Britain on Saturday, sparking wild celebrations on board their sleek AC75 before heading back to shore to be met with a traditional Maori welcome.
The victory makes it a third win in a row for the New Zealand team, who successfully defended the "Auld Mug", which they had won in Auckland in 2021 and in Bermuda in 2017.
