In this talk we argue that certain large N but non-planar limits of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory enjoy integrability. By employing constraints that follow from the superconformal algebra, we are able to argue that integrability persists to all loops, that is, to all orders in the Yang-Mills coupling constant. The consequences of this result for the dual gravitational theory are described.
