America's Cup is a privately owned entity headquartered in New Zealand, founded in 1851, and employing approximately 100 individuals. The entity reported $5.3M in revenue as of 2024 and functions as a tier 3 media tech buyer. It specializes in water sports, overseeing the world's oldest trophy in international sport, which dates back to 1851 following the victory of the yacht America around the Isle of Wight, U.K. The trophy, established through a Deed of Gift, is considered a symbol of achievement and one of the most challenging titles in sport, having been won by only four countries in its 175-year history. The America's Cup is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, with Emirates Team New Zealand successfully defending it in Barcelona in 2024.
Three months remain until the Naples PR2, following earlier storylines from Sardinia that involved Youth & Women America’s Cup sailors, as reported on June 24, 2026. This comes as Naples, the host city, was highlighted on June 23 for its profound maritime legacy, spanning from its ancient Greek origins to modern shipping routes. Previously, on June 18, Giles Scott expressed optimism regarding the initial two-boat AC40 training sessions in Pensacola, noting the camps provided a great opportunity to begin shaping the team. Emirates Team New Zealand concluded its winter training block in Auckland on June 15, focusing on optimizing performance at the lighter end of the scale despite occasional upper-end challenges. Earlier in the month, on June 10, construction began on the Challenger of Record GB1 base in Bagnoli, a reclaimed industrial site west of Naples. This site will house seven competitors for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, provide permanent office space for America’s Cup Events, and include a Race Village for the 2027 Naples regatta.
