Hydraulink – The Power Behind the Performance

We are proud to announce that Hydraulink has once again been confirmed as the Official hydraulic hose and fittings supplier for Emirates Team New Zealand at the upcoming 38th America's Cup, to be held in Naples from 10 July 2027.

This prestigious event is home to the oldest trophy in international sport and represents the pinnacle of sailing technology, innovation, and engineering performance. Hydraulink will supply hydraulic hose assemblies and accessories not only for the AC75 race boat defending the Cup but also for the twelve AC40 yachts used in the preliminary regattas.

Emirates Team New Zealand will defend against five challengers: GB1 UK (Challenger of Record), Luna Rossa (Italy), Tudor Team Alinghi (Switzerland), K-Challenge (France) and, now, a new entry: American Racing Challenger Team (USA), which was recently confirmed as the fifth entry.

Our partnership with Team New Zealand spans more than 30 years, supporting multiple Cup campaigns and victories. The hydraulic systems on these extraordinary foiling yachts operate under extreme loads and conditions, where absolute reliability and technical precision are essential.

While our hoses may not always be visible amid the excitement of racing, they are vital to the systems that control the foils, sails, and flight of these remarkable boats. The same quality, reliability, and engineering performance trusted by Emirates Team New Zealand, is the standard we deliver every day to Hydraulink customers across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and the Pacific.

We are honoured to again play a role in helping defend the Cup and look forward to sharing the journey with you as the road to Naples 2027 begins.
