America's Cup is a privately owned entity headquartered in New Zealand. Founded in 1851, the organization has approximately 100 employees and is primarily associated with water sports. The America's Cup is recognized as the oldest trophy in international sport, originating in 1851 when the yacht America won a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K., leading to the trophy being named after it. The trophy was subsequently donated in trust through a Deed of Gift. Historically, only four countries have won the America’s Cup. The trophy is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland, following a defense by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.
The Naples Preliminary Regatta is scheduled for September 25-27, with the Official Race Village extended along the Lungomare Caracciolo to accommodate spectators and offer daily dock-out and dock-in shows. Previously, on September 2, BWA Yachting opened official berth bookings for superyachts planning to attend the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup in Naples in Spring/Summer 2027, establishing a centralized process for securing berthing. On August 31, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, as the Defender represented by Emirates Team New Zealand, and Royal Yacht Squadron Ltd, the Challenger of Record represented by GB1, welcomed a query from the New York Yacht Club. Earlier the same day, Tudor Team Alinghi strengthened its lineup ahead of the Naples event by adding Laurane Mettraux, a trimmer who competed in the Women's America's Cup in Barcelona in 2024. This followed an August 26 observation by Luna Rossa's recon team of modifications to their new rudder, featuring more blade area at the top with an extended leading edge and slightly less area at the bottom.
