The city of sails is hosting the prestigious SailGP event for the very first time.
Thousands are expected on Auckland's waterfront and out on the harbour to watch a 12-strong international field match race their F50 foiling catamarans.
New Zealand is represented by the Black Foils, featuring the legendary Peter Burling and Blair Tuke.
Nat Fortier is the Global Communications Director for SailGP and she joins Anna Thomas to preview the fun.
