Americas Cup Auckland 2020
How F2T helped make it happen:
Across the event 500+ VIP customers and celebrities attended throughout the consecutive months the America's Cup was held. Including the qualifiers, as well as the Prada cup.
F2T organised all aspects of guest management from invitations through our online system, to the on ground activity and on ground hosting in Auckland.
Through our attention to detail and proactiveness, F2T were also able to work through a range of Covid 19 restrictions, including no international travellers, and a full lockdown during the event. By planning ahead we were able to manage this and maintain the same level of customer satisfaction and brand immersion!
As a result of accurate planning, personal service and attention to detail we had an immensely successful event, and are looking onto the next one.

Rugby World Cup
2015 | 2019
The 2015 Rugby World Cup was an extraordinary opportunity for a trade incentive that Pernod Ricard Australia and New Zealand offered their industry trade partners.
A 2 week long tour to the vineyards and distilleries of G.H. Mumm, Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, Jameson's Whiskey and Beefeater. Pernod Ricard’s guests visited brands across France, Ireland and the United Kingdom for a first hand encounter with their production, soul and history.
With the timings strategically organised, each Pernod Ricard location was also host to a Rugby World Cup blockbuster match. The ingenuity of merging Pernod Ricard’s premium brands with world-class international rugby was a huge success for Pernod Ricard and an unforgettable way to thank their industry supporters.
2019 was a whole different experience. The focus here was to immerse the guests in all aspects of the Japanese culture and their love of rugby. From mountain top Onsen’s, private dining experiences with Geisha and of course all the action of the rugby right across Japan, it was a trip to be remembered. And to keep F2T on our toes, let’s throw in a typhoon and schedule changes and last minute changes to hotels. Quick decision making, jumping high speed trains with last minute reservations and finding ourselves in new unplanned cities somehow just made for an even more exciting adventure. F2T reservations, hospitality and personal group chaperone ensured the success of this unique luxury travel incentive.
