Australia IV is a 12-metre class yacht that competed in the 1987 Defender Selection Series.[1]

After being eliminated from the 1987 Defender selection series, Australia IV and her sister ship Australia III were sold to Japanese businessman Masakuzu Kobayashi . Australia IV was renamed Bengal III, painted red and shipped to Japan, where they were to be part of preparations for a proposed Japanese America's Cup Challenge.

As of 2019, Australia IV, now renamed Bengal III, sits on the hard stand of Miri Marina, Borneo, Malaysia.
