America³ (USA–23) was an American International America's Cup Class yacht that successfully defended the 1992 America's Cup challenge from the Il Moro Challenge racing syndicate.

America³ was one of four yachts built for the America3 Foundation racing syndicate, headed by American businessman Bill Koch, for the 1992 Citizen Cup. It was launched in 1992.[1]

America³ won the Citizen Cup, then successfully defended the America's Cup against the challenge of the Italian yacht Il Moro di Venezia V (ITA-25), winner of the 1992 Louis Vuitton Cup.

The America3 Foundation racing syndicate entered the 1995 Citizen Cup with an all women's programme. The team sailed America³ (USA–23) in the first three stages of the Round Robin, then switched to their newly delivered yacht Mighty Mary (USA–43) for the remainder of the event.

America³ is on display at the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Another example, Jayhawk, used in qualifying is on display at the Wichita Boathouse in Wichita, KS.
