Armare Ropes is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ), confirming its role as an Official Supplier for the fourth consecutive time, ahead of the 38th America's Cup campaign, to be held in Naples in 2027.

A history of shared success

The collaboration between Armare Ropes and Emirates Team New Zealand began in 2017 and has since accompanied the New Zealand team in three America's Cup campaigns - Bermuda 2017, Auckland 2021, and Barcelona 2024 - all won with Armare's high-performance ropes on board.

This journey highlights the reliability, quality, and advanced technology of the Italian company's products, which have become an integral part of the recent history of one of the most successful sailing teams in the world.

The value of renewal

The renewal of this partnership marks another important step in a consolidated collaboration, reconfirming its strategic significance ahead of the 2027 challenge in Naples. For Emirates Team New Zealand, continuing with Armare Ropes means relying on cutting-edge, tailor-made rigging solutions, designed to deliver top performance, maximum safety, and total reliability.

For Armare, this partnership represents not only a prestigious technical acknowledgement but also an opportunity to strengthen its international positioning as a benchmark of Italian excellence in the nautical industry.

Stefano Finco, CEO of Armare Ropes, commented: "We are extremely proud to renew this collaboration with Emirates Team New Zealand, a team that embodies values such as determination, innovation, and the pursuit of perfection - the same values that lie at the heart of our philosophy. Being on board with ETNZ for the fourth consecutive time means continuing a journey that began almost ten years ago, with the shared goal of facing new challenges and once again striving to win the Cup. The first updates from the new race protocol have made us very enthusiastic, and we can only welcome the direction that focuses on inclusivity, sustainability, and shared management of the new edition, with an important emphasis on young sailors and women."

Nick Burrige - Emirates Team New Zealand Operations and Reliability Co-ordinator added: "Armare Ropes' technical support has been an important part of the last three America's Cup victories for Emirates Team New Zealand. Armare's commitment to quality, reliability, and a tailor-made approach provides the confidence needed to face the challenges of the upcoming AC38 event in Naples."

Innovation and future outlook

Armare Ropes, developed with advanced technologies and next-generation materials, are the result of continuous research and development dedicated to the most extreme sailing competitions. Looking ahead to the 38th America's Cup, the company's commitment will be to keep pushing the limits of performance and innovation, consolidating Armare's role as a technical partner of excellence.

The renewal of the partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand reaffirms Armare Ropes' vocation to be a key player in the world's most prestigious sailing challenges.
