Team New Zealand won the 36th America's Cup on Wednesday, beating Italian Syndicate Luna Rossa by 46 seconds in race 10 to win the best of 13 series 7-3.
It was the fourth time Team New Zealand have won the Auld Mug and the syndicate's second succesful defence of it.
RNZ had several reporters and photographers out capturing every moment of the day. Here are some of the best pictures.
