Free live screenings of the America's Cup final races will be held for fans at the New Zealand Maritime Museum.

The first screening will be held this Sunday at 5am in the Maritime Room which is accessed via Princes Wharf.

The museum is the only Auckland venue offering a free public viewing of all the final races.

Team New Zealand are challenging cup holders Oracle Team USA in what is effectively a rematch of the unforgettable clash between the two in San Francisco four years ago.

Doors to the Maritime Room will open at 4.45am on Sunday and Monday. Numbers will be limited to 300 guests. It will work on a first come, first serve basis, with no reserves.

Following that, there will be screenings from Sunday, June 25 at 5am until the final race day.

The museum is hosting the events in conjunction with the Maritime Room, Sero, Edwards NZ, and with support from Sky TV.

Coffee and tea will be available.
