America’s Cup 2027: Naples returns as the world capital of sailing
In 2027, Naples will once again host the America’s Cup, the most prestigious international sailing regatta.
A clash of titans that will turn the Gulf into a liquid arena, with futuristic boats speeding across the water — powered by wind and ingenuity alone.
It won’t be the first time. Back in 2012, Naples hosted a leg of the America’s Cup World Series, offering a spectacular setting and a warm welcome that won over both the international teams and the public.
But 2027 promises to be something more — a grand return in full style.
The waters off Castel dell’Ovo and Lungomare Caracciolo will frame a competition that blends sport, technology, and vision.
The world’s top teams will race with cutting-edge yachts, in a lightning-fast dance of waves and strategy.
This event will also be a major opportunity for the city — a global showcase, a boon for tourism, and a chance to promote nautical culture and sustainable innovation.
For Neapolitans, it will be a way to reconnect with the sea — with their eyes, hearts, and memories.
For visitors, it will be the perfect moment to discover a unique Naples: seafaring, contemporary, and truly international.
