ITALY AND THE AMERICA’S CUP: THE AZZURRA STORY Italy has one of the most passionate and enduring histories in the America’s Cup. Azzurra’s 1983 debut turned Italian sailing into a national interest. Backed by icons like Agnelli and the Aga Khan, it laid the foundation for today’s Italian America's Cup campaigns—culminating in Naples hosting the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup in 2027. Azzurra was culturally significant, it gave a boost to the nation, undoubtedly was the catalyst for Italian participation through to the present day.
