Britain is facing a critical moment in the America’s Cup, as Ineos Britannia, led by Ben Ainslie, has fallen behind Emirates Team New Zealand with a score of 6-2 in the best-of-13 series taking place in Barcelona. To secure a victory and claim the prestigious 'auld mug' for Great Britain, Ineos Britannia must win all five of the remaining races. With match point now reached, the pressure is on, as the New Zealand team only needs to win one more race to clinch the title. After the fifth day of competition, the stakes are high, with two more races scheduled for Saturday. If the Kiwis manage to secure a win in either of those races, the series will come to an end, leaving Ineos Britannia with no chance of victory.

Great Britain is set to face New Zealand in races three and four of the 2024 America's Cup, marking day two of the competition between Ineos Britannia and Emirates Team New Zealand. The teams are engaged in a series of regattas leading up to the Louis Vuitton Cup, which will determine the challenger for the main event. This year, New Zealand, as the defending champion, will compete against Ineos Britannia, who earned their spot by defeating Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli decisively in the final race. The current competition format consists of a best-of-13 series, where the first team to win seven races will claim the prestigious Cup. The event kicked off with the first two races on October 12, and the third and fourth races are scheduled for October 13. Following these, the fifth and sixth races will take place on October 16, with the seventh race on October 18. If needed, the eighth race will also occur on October 18, while the ninth and tenth races are set for October 19. The eleventh and twelfth races will be held on October 20, with a final race, if necessary, on October 21.
