At 1:10pm PT today, the 30th anniversary Louis Vuitton Cup Final begins with Emirates Team New Zealand taking on Luna Rossa Challenge. It will not be broadcast live because of restrictions with NBC who is recording the race and will broadcast it at 3pm PT today. This is the first time in over 20 years that the America’s Cup returns to network television (see coverage schedule below).
