America's Cup, privately owned and headquartered in New Zealand, was founded in 1851 and operates with approximately 50 employees, reporting $8.0M in revenue as of 2023. The company operates a sailing competition, managed as a co-venture between the Challenger of Record, based in Italy, and the previous winning team, which in 2021 was America Cup Events Limited in New Zealand.
UniCredit has been confirmed as the global partner and global banking partner for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup in Naples in 2027, with the company also designated as the Official Supporter of the Volunteer Programme, announced on April 2, 2026. This initiative anticipates replicating the success of the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, where 3,000 volunteers ensured the regatta's smooth operation. This follows Emirates Team New Zealand completing its first session on April 1, where crew member Jo Aleh indicated her role on the big boat will continue to develop throughout the Cup. Earlier on March 29, Great Britain's GB1 yacht achieved speeds of 47 knots in Cagliari, with established skippers Dylan Fletcher and Hannah Mills welcoming new trialists selected through the Weymouth UK process. On the same day, details emerged about the adapted AC75s for Naples in 2027, which will incorporate a Guest Racer pod on the port side, behind the helm, providing a 180-degree view at race pace. Previously, on March 27, Taihoro received its first upgrades, specifically addressing its rudder, which upon its March 10 relaunch had a noticeable gap between the top and the hull, featuring a stepped trailing edge flowing into a thin blade.
