Home International Rowing Regatta
The Home International Rowing Regatta is a historic annual competition dating back to 1962 in which the four ‘Home Nations’ of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland compete
England Rowing
The England Team is an opportunity for rowers to trial either in crews or small boats to earn the chance to represent England with their coach, fellow club members or just by themselves.
Representing England is a unique development opportunity for both rowers and coaches wishing to gain international experience. For some, it could be the first step to representing Great Britain.
The England Team has seen many Olympic and Paralympic rowers receive their first international representation. If selected you’ll be following the footsteps of; Charlotte Hodgkins Bryne (2015), Charlotte Booth (2014), Emily Ford (2013), Laurence Whiteley (2012), and Sir Steve Redgrave (1978).
The Home International Rowing Regatta
The Home International Rowing Regatta is a historic annual competition dating back to 1962 seeing the four ‘Home Nations’ of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland compete. Every race counts towards combined team trophies for Junior Women, Junior Men, Senior Women and Senior Men.
