As Kiwis celebrate Team New Zealand's win this morning, and after Burling and co have taken a few swigs of Moet from the Auld Mug, the cup will be packaged up to bring back to our shores.
And while the voluptuous vessel has a long history, the case that it comes in has been hand crafted especially for this event.
Louis Vuitton have revealed the painstaking process of making the case that will ensure our new piece of silverware is kept in perfect shape all the way to its new home.
It took four crafsmen over 400 hours to handcraft the case using hammers and stakes in the same traditional technique employed since the original America's Cup was presented in 1851.
