Corporate Sponsorship

It's no coincidence that many of the leading corporations in the world have invested in a relationship with the America's Cup.  The Cup is one of the most highly regarded events in all of sports, with an overwhelmingly positive image that targets an affluent water-oriented audience. Past America's Cup syndicates have proven that hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by major corporations who recognize the marketing value of this prestigious global sporting event.

As the first major sporting contest of the new millennium, America's Cup XXX represents an unparalleled opportunity for sponsors to participate in a landmark event with worldwide media attention.

Home-ported in a top tourist destination, the Team Caribbean America's Cup Challenge has aroused the interest of sponsors throughout Corporate America seeking an international showcase for their products and services in Auckland, New Zealand.

As the yachts set sail in Auckland, the logos of Team Caribbean sponsors will be on the global stage, as the largest field of America's Cup Challengers make their way down under.  Other sponsor opportunities include corporate identification on equipment, uniforms, signs, banners, and in newsletters and team brochures.  In addition, sponsors can take advantage of Team appearances, community-based programs, cross-promotions, merchandising and more.  Team Caribbean is more than willing to develop customized sponsorship packages by working closely with each company's marketing department.

A limited number of  corporate partnerships are available.
