America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta begins in Naples

The 38th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta is underway in the Gulf of Naples, serving as a critical testing ground for teams ahead of the 2027 competition. The event features six teams and nine AC40 foiling boats competing in one-design mode.

Luna Rossa has demonstrated strong performance, with the Senior team winning all three official practice races and leading early standings. Other participating teams include Emirates Team New Zealand, American Racing Challenger Team USA, Alinghi, La Roche-Posay Racing Team, and GB1.

Racing conditions have been variable, with organizers managing challenges ranging from a lack of wind to strong breezes and waves. Despite some delays and a dramatic capsize involving the La Roche-Posay Racing Team, the regatta continues to draw significant local interest and international media attention. The event also includes a Race Village in Naples offering food, entertainment, and community engagement.
