Following the statement from the America’s Cup Event Ltd (ACE) today here, INEOS Team UK respect the decision communicated by ACE to delay the Prada Cup racing due to the current (SW: then Level 3, now Level 2) COVID-19 alert level in Auckland.

The result of the Prada Cup final should be won and decided on the water in the agreed format of first to win 7 races.

INEOS Team UK fully respect the government's decision to curtail racing until it is safe to do so and would support a delay in the competition if that is required.

The solution put forward by ACE is sensible in ensuring both the safety of all in New Zealand, and the integrity of the sporting competition.

INEOS Team UK will continue with our race preparations and be ready to race when it is safe to do so.
