The two teams took each other on across a series of eight races in San Francisco, where Emirates Team New Zealand won 7-1 to take the 30th anniversary Louis Vuitton Cup. They will now face Oracle Team USA in the 34th America's Cup in September 2013.
We've definitely come here to win the America's Cup, so winning the Louis Vuitton Cup is all part of the preparation.

In the eighth and final deciding race, the Kiwis sailed home 3 minutes and 20 seconds ahead of their Italian rivals, repeating their defeat of the popular Luna Rossa team in the previous Louis Vuitton Cup Final in 2007.
