Viaduct Harbour was redeveloped for the 1999-2000 America's Cup defence (Auckland hosted the America's Cup successfully through 2003 — the first city outside the USA to do so) and the 2021 America's Cup defence, and remains the historic heart of New Zealand superyacht hospitality. The New Zealand pantry is distinctive within the South Pacific.
