An America's Cup without an American boat? American Magic says it may not sail in Naples
- American Magic, representing the New York Yacht Club, may not compete in the 2027 America's Cup planned for Naples, Italy, casting doubt on American participation.
- This uncertainty follows Team New Zealand's recent announcement to host the event in Naples and concerns raised over transparency and lack of cooperation.
- British challenger Athena Racing criticized inadequate information from Team New Zealand about the agreement with Italian organizers, and American Magic supported these complaints.
- American boats have won a record 25 America's Cups and held the trophy continuously from 1851 through 1983, but if no American team competes in 2027, it would mark a first in the event's history.
- Without meaningful changes to the event's sporting framework, which does not yet exist, American Magic and possibly other American syndicates may withdraw from the 38th America's Cup.
