If team New Zealand can find a boat that floats they'll have a better chance this time. Then again, we've had our shits and giggles hosting the cup a few times, I'm way over it now.

Hmmn - The 'America's Cup' - other nations can enter.

'The World Series' - America wins that one every year doesn't it?

Losers :rolleyes:

Surprisingly, there are a "series of the Caribbean", and a baseball world tournament now. But of course...

"World Series", yeah, right... :rolleyes:

Knock off the hijack, troll. This thread's about a yacht race, of which you've successfully proven yourself completely ignorant.
