NZ Millennium Cup
Organised by the NZ Marine Export Group, the NZ Millennium Cup is a celebration of good racing, great cruising grounds, and exceptional hospitality.
Drawing attention to New Zealand’s beautiful cruising grounds, skilled workforce, and innovative industry, we will be delivering an event that showcases the best of our superyacht sector in a relaxed, recognisably Kiwi style.
A key focus of the regatta is to encourage extended cruising within the country, and the committee works closely with the wider industry to ensure yachts are aware of the diversity New Zealand waters present, as well as the opportunity for world-leading refit and repair services.
Our 2025 regatta featured over ten beautiful superyachts competing on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf from 1 to 4 February.
