America's Cup: Where have all the New Zealand flags gone? New Zealand Youth America's Cup Team manager Simon Hull also alleged the instructions to remove the flags had come from the top at Oracle Team USA. So when they strung up New Zealand flags to show their support for Team New Zealand's America's Cup bid in Bermuda, it didn't sit too well with Oracle. Hull was part of a group of New Zealand fans in Bermuda for the regatta who had decorated the front of their accommodation with New Zealand flags and silver fern bunting. Another fan had put New Zealand flags on lamp posts on the main road on the morning of the first America's Cup races, but they were taken down the next day.
