Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa shared the honours in the first two races of the 36th Americas Cup. Team New Zealand comfortably won the first race by over half a minute but the Italians turned the tables in race two. The challengers led by 25 seconds at the midpoint but Team New Zealand cut the lead to just 12 seconds on the final upwind leg.
