BMW Oracle Racing vs Team New Zealand was originally sailed on the 28 May with BMW Oracle winning the match after Team New Zealand was penalised for not maintaining enough tension on their forestay. Team New Zealand immediately appealed the ruling but the international jury was unable to award them redress. The rule was removed from the book the next day and it was decided to resail the race. BMW Oracle then asked for redress but that was denied by the jury. Team New Zealand won the resail on the 30 May.
Elimination Finals 3–6 June The final series was originally scheduled to use the
McIntyre final eight system, as in Auckland. However, due to the loss of several days of racing, due to weather and the collision between USA 87 and USA 98, the finals were rescheduled to consist of knock out semi finals and a final. One quarterfinal was raced before the format was changed. The higher ranked team from each quarterfinal that was abandoned automatically advanced into the semifinals. The petit finale to decide third place was also canceled.
