Britain Qualifies for America's Cup Final After 60-Year Hiatus

INEOS Britannia, skippered by Ben Ainslie, clinches a 7-4 victory over Italy's Luna Rossa to face New Zealand in the finals.

INEOS Britannia secured a spot in the America's Cup final for the first time since 1964, defeating Italy's Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli 7-4.
Britain has a rich maritime history but has never won the America's Cup, a 173-year quest for the prestigious trophy.
Skipper Ben Ainslie leads the team, backed financially by billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and technically by Formula One's Mercedes team.
The British team will challenge defending champions Team Emirates New Zealand in a first-to-seven series starting October 12.
Jimmy Spithill, Luna Rossa's co-helmsman, hinted at retirement after the loss, marking the end of his eighth America's Cup participation.
