America's Cup is a privately owned entity headquartered in New Zealand. Founded in 1851, the organization has approximately 100 employees and is primarily associated with water sports. The America's Cup is recognized as the oldest trophy in international sport, originating in 1851 when the yacht America won a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K., leading to the trophy being named after it. The trophy was subsequently donated in trust through a Deed of Gift. Historically, only four countries have won the America’s Cup. The trophy is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland, following a defense by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.
Teams practiced in the Bay of Naples a week before the PR2 Naples event on September 17, with GB1, the Challenger of Record, observed near the city's lungomare demonstrating accuracy and speed. Concurrently, preparations for the PR2 Naples race village advanced, as scaffolding for large LED broadcast screens and the main regatta stage rapidly took shape on the beach and along the lungomare. Previously, on September 15, Seb Menzies was profiled as a developing member of the "golden generation" coming through the America’s Cup pathway. On September 14, Luna Rossa announced significant crew changes for PR2 Naples, replacing senior trimmer Vittorio Bissarro with Gianluigi ‘Gigi’ Ugolini, who co-helmed their victorious Youth America’s Cup team in Barcelona in 2024. Also on September 14, Mulino Caputo, a Naples-based flour producer established in 1924, became an official supplier and the official flour of the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup, an event Naples will host for the first time in its 175-year history.
