On March 19, 2021, just a couple of days after the Emirates Team New Zealand successfully defended the America's Cup, the America's Cup Hall of Fame held an Induction Ceremony to welcome broadcaster PJ Montgomery and America's Cup winner Ed Baird into the institution based in Bristol, RI.

The function was originally planned for March 8, but was delayed by the second COVID-19 - March 19, 2021 at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
