Team New Zealand or TNZ is a sailing team based in Auckland, New Zealand representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. The team has been branded as Emirates Team New Zealand at America's Cup competitions since 2007.

Team New Zealand became a household name in their home country following their consecutive wins in the America's Cup in 1995 and 2000, under the leadership of Sir Peter Blake, when becoming the first team from a country outside the United States to win and successfully defend the America's Cup.

Team New Zealand won the 2017 America's Cup, skippered by Glenn Ashby.[1] They successfully defended the title at the America's Cup in 2021 and 2024. They are also the winners of the Louis Vuitton Cup in 1995, 2007, 2013, and 2017.
