Sea, wind, sails and the oldest sporting trophy in the world. On the horizon, two iconic Italian gulfs — Naples and Cagliari — poised to become the global center of sailing. In 2027, for the first time ever, the America’s Cup will land in Italy, carrying everything that makes it unique: a blend of tradition and innovation, timeless ritual and cutting‑edge performance, local identity and global audience — a mix of technology, aesthetics, performance, and competition that, after a century and a half, makes it truly unparalleled in sport.
In summer 2027 all of this will culminate in the waters off the Gulf of Naples, host of the 38th Louis Vuitton America’s Cup. And while the clock is set for the most anticipated part of the event — beginning on July 10th of next year — the Cup’s journey across Italy will start much earlier, and elsewhere.
