The 2027 America's Cup will be raced in Naples, with the match scheduled to begin on 10 July and conclude around 17 to 18 July. Five teams have been announced for the 38th edition of the oldest trophy in international sport.
Naples as a venue is a statement: a spectacular natural amphitheatre in the Gulf, a city with deep maritime heritage, and a summer date that puts the Cup in front of a European audience at peak season.
The build-up now shifts to the teams' design and sailing programmes. With the match date fixed, the countdown to Naples is officially on.
