INEOS Team UK Will Face Luna Rossa In The Challenger Finals

Ineos Team UK will now face Luna Rossa in the challenger final, which begins on Friday. The winner of that series will then go on to face Team New Zealand in the America's Cup final, which begins on March 6.

However, Ineos Team UK were able to turn things around in the knockout rounds, and they will now be confident of beating Luna Rossa in the challenger final.

The America's Cup is the oldest and most prestigious sailing race in the world. It is held every four years, and it is contested by the top sailing teams from around the world. The current holders of the America's Cup are Team New Zealand, who won the race in 2017.
