With footage from the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Teams Presentation in Naples, the new ‘Inside America’s Cup’ series available as both a podcast and a vodcast claims to get fans closer to the action, the people, the rumours and the gossip than ever before.

Presented by Niall Myant-Best, one of the world’s leading sailing commentators and presenters with experience across The Ocean Race and the BBC’s coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

For this first episode, Niall and the team were onsite in Naples at the Palazzo Reale, interviewing the likes of Grant Dalton, CEO of Emirates Team New Zealand, Sir Ben Ainslie, Team Principal of the Challenger of Record GB1, Bruno Dubois, co-CEO of K-Challenge, Ernesto Bertarelli, Team Owner of Tudor Team Alinghi and of course, the local favourites Luna Rossa and CEO Max Sirena. We also hear from co-helm of the winning Luna Rossa team at the inaugural Women's America's Cup—Margherita Porro—about her hopes and ambitions for 2027 and beyond.
