Team New Zealand on brink of America's Cup victory after race nine win
- TNZ move into 6-3 lead before racing in Auckland abandoned
- Auld Mug can be secured when racing resumes on Wednesday
Team New Zealand moved within one race win of a second successive America’s Cup triumph but their hopes of sealing the match on Tuesday disappeared when race 10 was abandoned due to unfavourable wind off the coast of Auckland.
After a short postponement, defender TNZ won the ninth race by 30 seconds over Luna Rossa in a time of 25 minutes and 29 seconds to take a 6-3 lead in the best-of-13 match.
