The Irish Rowing Championships will take place this weekend at the National Rowing Centre in Farran, Co Cork, from 08:45 on Friday, July 12th, to 15:55 on Sunday, July 14th.
The Championships have long been the proving ground for the nation’s elite rowers. It is here that our Olympic athletes honed their skills, showcased their dedication, and took their first strokes towards global success.
This year’s event promises to be a thrilling display of athletic prowess, featuring the next generation of rowing stars poised to follow in their footsteps.
The 2024 event, which will last three full days, will feature an impressive lineup, including 916 crews, 51 clubs, 1169 competitors, 216 races, and 54 events.
This extensive gathering will draw participants from all corners of the country.
The event is testament to the strength of Irish Rowing, its clubs and participants.
The Blue Riband event is considered the senior eights event or the big pot. With seven entries in the Men’s and four in the Women’s events, it will be one to watch.
“The Irish Rowing Championships 2024, the biggest ever in Irish Rowing, will feature intense competition, remarkable talent, and the unwavering spirit of athletes who have dedicated themselves to the sport,” said Michelle Carpenter, CEO of Rowing Ireland.
“It is an event not to be missed, offering a unique opportunity to witness the origins of Olympic dreams. This event would not be possible without the incredible work of our championship committee and our dedicated team at Rowing Ireland as well as our clubs who support the event. We would also like to thank our sponsors for their support in making this event possible.”
The National Rowing Centre is accessed from the main road from Cork to Macroom, just outside Ovens. Dropping in at the weekend if you are in the South West would be a great way to spend time.
Sport for Business will host its annual Sponsorship Showcase event in Dublin on Thursday morning, October 10th. This is one of many events planned for the remainder of 2024.
