Athena Pathway is a British sailing team created in 2022 to compete for the 2024 Youth and Women's editions of the America's Cup.

In 2024 the team challenged for the Youth and Women's America's Cup in Barcelona, representing the Royal Yacht Squadron.

Athena Pathway, representing the Royal Yacht Squadron, was launched in August 2022 by Hannah Mills OBE and Sir Ben Ainslie, two of Britain's most successful Olympic sailors, with the aim of fast-tracking development in high-performance sailing and bringing diversity to the sport and the UK marine industry more broadly.

The core of the pathway is a commitment to sustainability, with an ethos of 'People, Planet and Purpose', encouraging athletes to use their voices in the fight against climate change.
