The win sees New Zealand close the gap at the top of the championship standings to sit four points below season leaders Australia, as Tom Slingsby's team missed its first event final in six events to finish the Denmark event in fourth place.
Skipper Peter Burling said he was incredibly proud his team managed to keep its strong form from Plymouth going in the Danish capital.
Burling said: "It's amazing to see the team come together and win four races in a row, we had some good opportunities at the start of the races, and to be honest the race is easy when you're leading at mark one, we had all the time and space in the world."
New Zealand team strategist Olivia Mackay experienced her first event win after not racing with the team in Plymouth.
Mackay said: "It was incredible out there, I just can't get over this feeling, it's been such a cool journey for us as a team, everyone has been learning and contributing together. It's fantastic."
The European leg of the championship continues in Saint-Tropez for the France Sail Grand Prix next month.

MotoGP to have sprint races
MotoGP will have Formula One-style sprint races in every round of the championship from 2023.
Formula One in February approved a plan to hold three sprint races instead of six in 2022 after trialling it at three races last year, and MotoGP said it would follow suit although their sprint races would have no bearing on grid positions.
Reigning MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo lashed out on Friday against plans for sprint races.
"I'm not the one who makes decisions about race formats, but I think we're entering a totally stupid format," Quartararo was quoted as saying by Autosport.com.
Meanwhile Gresini Racing's Enea Bastianini clinched his first MotoGP pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Bastianini, a three-time winner in the premier class, snatched the pole from Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia on the final lap.
