The Sports Minister says he's up for conversations on hosting the next America's Cup.

Team New Zealand has won a record-setting third Cup in a row.

Team boss Grant Dalton says they've accepted a challenge from Britain's Ineos Britannia team and hosting in New Zealand is on the table.

Auckland last hosted the Cup in 2021, during Covid.

Chris Bishop says the ball is ultimately in the team's court - but there's a lot to weigh up.

"Times are tight, as everyone knows - there's no magic money tree at the end of the garden. We don't have an unlimited checkbook and you're dealing with quite big sums of taxpayer money here."
