New Zealand to defend America's Cup in Naples in July 2027
- On Jan 21, Emirates Team New Zealand said the America's Cup final series will start on July 10 in Naples, with them defending the Cup against the challenge event winner.
- Italy will host the event for the first time, with teams based in Bagnoli to help relaunch the area after New Zealand said last year it would not host due to lack of government support.
- Organisers said the Cup will be raced in AC75 foiling monohulls, with teams first testing AC40 foiling monohulls at a preliminary regatta in Cagliari, while the Louis Vuitton Cup will decide the challenger.
- The teams have joined forces in a new America's Cup Partnership to share revenues and control costs, with Grant Dalton calling it a watershed that shares governance and future direction.
- Four teams—GB1, Luna Rossa, Tudor Team Alinghi and K-Challenge—have lined up to challenge, with funding a challenge costing up to 75 million euros.
