Organizers of the 38th America’s Cup have postponed the Preliminary Regatta scheduled to take place in Naples, Italy.
On May 13, 2026, it was reported that the event had been delayed. According to the available advice from organizers, the regatta can still be held in Naples in the foreseeable future, though specific dates and further details have not yet been finalized.
The event was originally expected to begin in September.
Preliminary Activity in Cagliari
Separate from the Naples regatta, a first Preliminary event was held in Cagliari, Sardinia. This event served as a precursor to the competition but was not the location where the 38th America’s Cup will be contested.
Reporting on the Cagliari event indicates that not all teams were in attendance. The 75ft Cup boats were not sailed during this specific preliminary activity.
The postponement of the Naples event follows these early preliminary activities as organizers manage the schedule for the upcoming competition.
