It's a sad thing when rivalry in sport spills over so much that teams can't sit in the same room together.

The New Zealand company which pioneered cutting-edge television graphics for the America's Cup was shut down after an executive stole almost $600,000 from its accounts.

Dean Barker and Jimmy Spithill square off in the post race media session re changing the America's Cup rules and the momentum of an Oracle come back. There will be no panic in the Kiwi camp - they still hold a 8-2 lead in the series and have immense confidence in their boat. But that will be of little consolation to impatient New Zealand fans eager to kick off celebrations.

Shed 10 on Auckland's waterfront was once again packed to the rim with Team NZ's supporters. Auckland Supercity Mayor, Len Brown was amongst the crowd enjoying the spectacular racing. He is calling for the people of Tamaki Makaurau/ Auckland to come down to Shed 10 for what we hope will be the final winning race to bring the cup home.

Emirates Team New Zealand are the favourites by 99 per cent, or $1.01, to win the America's Cup, according to TAB odds.

So it won't be today. So we have the pleasure and the pain of one race to go. ETNZ skipper Dean Barker and Jimmy Spithill from Oracle Team USA react after race eleven of the America's Cup won by Team NZ, and look forward to perhaps the final day of racing Friday.

The premature end of today's second America's Cup race due to high winds confused hundreds of fans watching on the big screen at Shed 10 on Auckland's Queens Wharf.

High winds and a an outgoing tide saw this morning's racing cancelled. Relive all the 'action' from our live coverage.

It went down to the wire - but in the end the high winds won, forcing the postponement of races 11 and 12 of the America's Cup.

Oracle Team USA's stunning improvement has prompted the TAB to reopen the book on who will win the America's Cup, and add new odds for the day it will be won.

The advance weather forecast for today's America's Cup racing is not good - depending on how you look at it.

The AC72's success in providing nail-bitingly good racing has everyone thinking highly of them. But as Paul Lewis writes, it'll be the last time we see them.

The bubbly has already been on ice longer than expected - and venues catering to yachting fans are no longer taking it for granted that victory celebrations are imminent.

Emirates Team New Zealand won a thrilling race 10 in the 34th America's Cup to regain advantage of the regatta. Dean Barker describes today's racing and Jimmy Spithill talks about that 'tweet'.

A friend of mine recounted a story to me a few years ago - he was hosting an American company executive for a few days and had decided to take him to a one-day cricket international at Eden Park.

Framing the TV set is a makeshift banner where someone has scrawled "Go Dean-Go Ray" with a marker pen on pieces of paper.

Dean Barker describes what went wrong in race eight. That flipping horrible near-flip would have been the end of Team NZ's America's Cup dream. But the boat mercifully came back down. Oracle went on to easily win the race, before Team NZ caught their collective breath and made the start line for Race 9. The challengers were leading and the two boats were neck and neck up the vital third, upwind leg when the wind proved too much and the organisers abandoned the race.

Race nine of the America's Cup has been abandoned due to high winds, while Oracle has scored its second point after a near disaster for Team NZ.

Oracle has won race eight after Team NZ's entire campaign almost ended in disaster, and race nine has just been abandoned due to high winds. Join us for live coverage.

One of the fears stemming from the America's Cup international jury's penalty of docking two points from Oracle Team USA was that it could provoke legal action after the Cup.

If the sales figures for red socks are any gauge of the nation's enthusiasm for the America's Cup, interest is picking up.
