Naples 2027 - History, passion and performance
For the first time in history, the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup will be sailed in Italy.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Vesuvius and framed by the legendary islands of Capri and Ischia, Naples offers one of the most spectacular racing venues ever chosen for the America’s Cup.
A UNESCO World Heritage city with more than 2,500 years of history, Naples combines world-class sailing conditions with exceptional culture, cuisine, hospitality and Mediterranean lifestyle. The Bay of Naples creates a natural amphitheatre for racing, placing spectators at the heart of the action while surrounded by some of the most iconic cruising destinations in the world.
The city has already demonstrated its passion for the America’s Cup, attracting enormous crowds during previous events, and Naples 2027 promises to deliver an atmosphere unlike any other edition.

The Bagnoli area will also feature an AC Tech Fan Village with interactive areas, large jumbotron screens to watch the racing and pre-event feature shows, plus a wealth of gastronomy and retail options. The Bagnoli Marina and Superyacht Facility will be protected by an extended stone breakwater and is a short distance from the dedicated race course set before the Bay of Naples for maximum fan engagement.
MARINA MOLO LUISE
The Marina Molo Luise is located in Naples, in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, a little more than a day’s cruise from Côte d’Azur and Greece.

Luise Group. The Marina Molo Luise is approximately 35 minutes’ driving distance from Napoli Capodichino International Airport.
