Athena Racing Affirms Steadfast Support for GB1, The United Kingdom's America's Cup Hopeful

Published: 21 Mar 2026
Unfazed by history, Athena Racing backs team GB1, Britain's contender in the relentless pursuit of the coveted America's Cup.

Standing tall on the maritime frontier, unblemished by the ebb and flow of history, Athena Racing continues its indomitable support for the British America’s Cup team, GB1. A legacy that stretches back twelve impressive years since the team’s establishment in 2014, Athena Racing remains committed to the cause. Despite the fact that the coveted trophy has eluded British clutches for a staggering 175 years, Athena Racing’s mission remains unchanged: to claim the sporting world’s most venerable prize for the nation.

The laudable sponsorship and support of Ineos have been pivotal in GB1’s campaigns in the recent past. This partnership culminated in GB1’s title as the most successful British challenger in six decades at the Barcelona 2024. Nevertheless, the path going forward is clear — any assets owned and possessed by Athena Racing will be employed for the AC38. A statement that should not surprise anyone, least of all Ineos. Athena Racing, it seems, has no intention of dropping-anchor on the pursuit of Britain’s sailing glory.
