Entering their seventh America’s Cup campaign, Italian powerhouse Luna Rossa is balancing the massive support of racing on home waters with the heavy expectation to finally take "the last step" and win.
Revered with the same passion as Italy’s national football squad, Luna Rossa carries a deep heritage and an entire nation’s sailing identity. Now, as they prepare to challenge for the Cup on home waters in Naples in 2027, the squad faces a double-edged sword: the advantage of local knowledge and huge fan backing versus immense media pressure. The mandate is clear: they are not here to waste time or money; their sole objective is to win the America’s Cup.
