The 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup, a prominent superyacht regatta in the South Pacific, is scheduled for 1 to 4 February 2025. Entries are now open.
“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 coincided with the NZ Marine comes to Tahiti networking event in French Polynesia, which began on 11 July 2024.
During the event, NZ Millennium Cup organisers were present at Marina Taina, assisting yachts with itinerary planning, providing information on logistics, and discussing the benefits of including the regatta in a New Zealand trip.
For the second consecutive year, the 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup will be held in 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 that 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 picturesque – place to race.”
The regatta’s headquarters will be located in central Auckland, providing a designated space for owners, crew, and race teams to gather and discuss the day’s racing immediately after stepping ashore.
Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, is situated on an isthmus between two major harbours. The city is known for its award-winning superyacht marinas and refit yards, as well as entertainment precincts located near the water.
These features make Auckland a suitable location for hosting international regattas and related events.
Entries for the regatta are now open, and entry forms are available online.
