Reports
- 36th America’s Cup Leverage and Legacy Report, opens in a new tab, Auckland Unlimited on behalf of Auckland Council and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, (September 2021). More than 40 leverage and legacy projects were successfully delivered, including significant infrastructure development to reinvigorate Auckland's waterfront - with access to new public spaces, enhanced event spaces and public artworks.
- 36th America’s Cup Impact Evaluation: Final report, opens in a new tab, Fresh Info, (30 June 2021). This evaluation has identified a net benefit to Auckland of hosting the 36th America’s Cup (AC36) of -$91.6 million (benefit-cost ratio of 0.85) and a net benefit to New Zealand (including Auckland) of -$156.1 million (benefit-cost ratio of 0.79). These figures are based on financial impacts (represented by actual or expected financial transactions) and non-financial impacts (unpriced social, cultural, or environmental effects). Focusing solely on financial impacts reveals a net benefit of -$145.8 million (benefit-cost ratio of 0.72) for Auckland and a net benefit of -$292.7 million (benefit-cost ratio of 0.48) for New Zealand (including Auckland). The financial impacts are the most relevant comparators with previous America’s Cup studies, including the original economic projection of the costs and benefits of hosting AC36 – which predicted a benefit-cost ratio for New Zealand of between 0.997 and 1.14.
