NBC Sports Group continues its coverage of the 2017 America's Cup Match this weekend on NBC, as defending champion ORACLE TEAM USA battles Emirates Team New Zealand in a rematch of the historic 2013 event. NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app - NBC Sports Group's live streaming product for desktops, mobile devices, tablets, and connected TVs - will provide comprehensive streaming coverage of the 2017 America's Cup.
The 2017 America's Cup Match, presented by Louis Vuitton, is a best-of-13/first to seven points event. NBC Sports' coverage continues Saturday at 1 p.m. ET with Race 5 and Race 6 on NBC, and continues on Sunday on NBC at 1 p.m. ET with Race 7 and Race 8. ORACLE TEAM USA aims to defend the America's Cup for a third consecutive time, following one of the most dramatic comebacks in the history of sport at the 2013 America's Cup. In 2013 in San Francisco, ORACLE TEAM USA and skipper Jimmy Spithill trailed Team New Zealand by a score of 8-1, before winning eight consecutive races to stun the sailing world and retain the oldest trophy in international sport. Emirates Team New Zealand won the first four races last weekend, and leads 3-0 in the standings, after starting the competition with a negative point because ORACLE TEAM USA won the qualifying leg. Emirates Team New Zealand needs four more victories to capture the 2017 America's Cup, which would be their first victory since 2003.Videos
