Athena Racing is the Challenger of Record for the 38th America’s Cup. The British team, who race for Royal Yacht Squadron Ltd, was formed in 2014. The team made history in 2024, as the first British team in 60 years to qualify for the America’s Cup Match, the first in 90 years to score points in the Match, and the first ever to win the America’s Cup Challenger Series. Their achievements mark Britain’s most successful performance in the competition’s history. The America’s Cup, the pinnacle of yachting, was first contested in 1851 in Cowes, Isle of Wight and organised by the Royal Yacht Squadron, predating the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. In challenging for a fourth successive America’s Cup, Athena Racing has much needed continuity, the cornerstone of every successful America’s Cup team.
