The 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup entries are open

The South Pacific’s superyacht regatta will take place from 1-4 February, with entries open in response to demand.
The 2025 dates for the New Zealand Millennium Cup regatta have been set for 1-4 February.

“We’re thrilled to announce next year’s dates,” says organiser Stacey Cook. “We had a number of yachts who were eager to enter and with entry now open, we’ve been pleased to see quick sign ups for the regatta in February.”

The announcement has been timed to coincide with the NZ Marine comes to Tahiti event this week in French Polynesia. Kicking off 11 July 2024, French Polynesian time, the event will see NZ Millennium Cup organisers on the ground in Marina Taina assisting yachts with itinerary planning, information on logistics, and why the regatta makes such a good addition to a New Zealand trip.

The 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup will be raced for the second year in a row on Auckland’s waters.

“Racing the regatta in the heart of our harbour city is an experience we love to give to our guests,” says Cook.

“These are the waters which have hosted America’s Cup showdowns, Volvo Ocean Race starts and honed generations of New Zealand sailors, so we know they’re a challenging, and very picturesque, place to race.”

The regatta’s headquarters form a private enclave in the heart of central Auckland, giving owners, crew and the race teams a spot to to gather and discuss the day’s racing as soon as they step off.
New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland sits on an isthmus between two large harbours with the natural playground long-revered by sailors. With award-winning superyacht marinas and refit yards, and thriving entertainment precincts fringing the water, it’s a location which lends itself to world-class regattas and enjoyable events both on and off the ocean.

Entry to the regatta is open now and entry forms are available here.
