BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Emirates Team New Zealand has taken another step toward retaining the America’s Cup after making it 4-0 over INEOS Britannia. The cup will go to the first yacht that can reach seven wins. The Kiwis have three to go while the British boat has a huge deficit to make up. New Zealand is trying to win the Auld Mug for a third straight time and fifth overall. The British have never won it in its 173-year history.
