A final agreement for the America's Cup bases in Auckland has been made.
The 36th America's Cup in 2021 will be held on Auckland's waterfront, with a base configuration that involves a small extension into the harbour.
Auckland's Mayor Phil Goff said one base would be on a Hobson Wharf extension and up to five bases on the eastern side of Wynyard Point.
The plan was less expensive than previous options, Goff said, and required less extension into the harbour than its alternatives.
Goff said officials from all parties had worked collaboratively towards the decision.
"I acknowledge the role played by all the parties in what was a robust negotiation."
