New Zealand and Luna Rossa Piranha new AC World Series champions / America’s Cup

America’s Cup Race Management has released revised scoring for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 America’s Cup World Series championships.

This follows ORACLE TEAM USA, JP Morgan BAR and HS Racing retiring from World Series events from the Newport regatta onwards.

With ORACLE TEAM USA Spithill renouncing points earned in the Newport event, which was the final regatta of the 2011-12 season, Emirates Team New Zealand now becomes the winner of the inaugural America’s Cup World Series season championship.

ORACLE TEAM USA Spithill/Slingsby, JP Morgan BAR and ORACLE TEAM USA Coutts also retired from all three events in the 2012-13 season while HS Racing retired from the only event it sailed, the final regatta in Naples.

The revised 2012-13 standings see Luna Rossa Piranha at the top of the combined championship, followed by Artemis Racing White and Emirates Team New Zealand.

Full revised results can be downloaded from the Regatta Noticeboard.
