Former Prime Minister Helen Clark says it's politically viable for New Zealand to host the America's Cup as we've done it before, and if we don't step up, someone else will.

She says Kiwis love to see New Zealand doing well and winning – and says we know having the Cup at home comes with economic benefits.

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown says the hosting decision is in the hands of Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton.

AUT Sailing Professor and former New Zealand world champion sailor Mark Orams joined Kerre Woodham.
