Today Team New Zealand are bringing home the America's Cup, and in nine month's time, there'll be a spike in the number of parents bringing home a new baby.
According to Statistics New Zealand data, nine months after we celebrate a victory in some of our major sporting events, there's often an increase in birth rates across the country.
Nine months after the 1995 America's Cup win, birth rates rose 2 per cent to reach 4,860, up from the 1996 monthly average of 4,790.
It was the same when we defended the America's Cup in 2000: Nine months later, birth rates spiked by 2.5 per cent as the 2001 monthly average went from 4625 to 4,743.
