US EditionNew America’s Cup Protocol Sees Female Sailors, Battery Power in “Seismic Change” for the Auld Mug
NAPLES, ITALY, AUG 12 – New rules mandate mixed-gender crews and equal governance among teams, aiming to modernize the event and expand global opportunities, organizers said.
- The 38th America's Cup sailing regatta will take place in Naples, Italy, in July 2027 with crews of five including at least one woman.
- The announcement of new rules followed a fractious development process and introduced equal governance and shared responsibilities for all teams.
- Key changes include the event becoming biennial, imposing a 75 million Euro cost cap per team, battery-powered boats, a guest sixth crew member, and nationality requirements.
- Sir Ben Ainslie called this a "seismic moment for the America's Cup" and said the partnership agreement fundamentally reshapes event governance and organization.
- These reforms aim to increase inclusivity and sustainability while ensuring the America's Cup grows and remains a pinnacle sailing event.
