The Italian syndicate have earned the right to challenge the Kiwi crew in the America's Cup match next month, winning the Prada Cup final series 7-1 against Ineos Team UK. Facing elimination, Team UK went on the attack inside the starting box with an aggressive play that forced Luna Rossa across the starting line early. "It's a great day for us, a great day for Luna Rossa and a great day for Italy," co-helmsman Francesco Bruni said after Luna Rossa punched their ticket to the America's Cup match.
