History
The first European Rowing Championships was held in 1893. They were later to be replaced by the World Rowing Championships, which became annual from 1974 when women’s events were added to their programme. Separate Women’s European Rowing Championships (sometimes immediately preceding the men’s European Rowing Championships at the same venue) were held from 1954-1973. Both the women’s and men’s European Championships were ‘European’ in location only; they were open to competitors from anywhere in the world, although entries from outside Europe were rare.
In 2006 the members of the International Rowing Federation (FISA, now known as World Rowing) voted to re-introduce the European Championships and the first event of ‘new-era’ was held in 2007 on Lake Malta in Poznan, POL.
