Ineos Britannia take on Emirates Team New ZealandAmerica’s Cup explainer | And feel free to mail Dominic
Here we go: it’s the oldest trophy in sport, it’s a potential 13 races on the seas of Barcelona and it’s a British team masterminded by Sir Ben Ainslie and Sir Jim Ratcliffe going up against the ‘All Blacks of the Sea’, defenders New Zealand. Can Ineos Britannia rule the waves against Team New Zealand, led Peter Burling, a two-time Cup winner and Olympic gold medallist?
The first race gets under way at 1pm BST and the second will also take place in Port Vell, off the Barceloneta beachfront, this afternoon. We’ve got 173 years of sporting history on the line in the coming days, with Great Britain looking to land their first ever America’s Cup, competing in their first ‘final’ for 60 years.
