Confidence from Jacinda Ardern that New Zealand can tick all the boxes to host the America's Cup in its entirety.

Other cities are trying to woo Team New Zealand; Abu Dhabi is understood to be offering a $116 million hosting fee.

The Prime Minister said it is in everyone's best interests for the cup to remain in New Zealand.

But she wouldn't be drawn on details about the hosting fee Team New Zealand wants.

''That's a conversation that I'm leaving to my ministers who are at the negotiating table, and so I will make sure there is clarity around where we've landed, once we've landed there.''
