Cambridge University Boat Club

The first Boat Race in 1829 launched Cambridge’s rivalry with Oxford on the water. Men’s and women’s crews, guided by a hunger for victory and outstanding staff, develop their technical skill and strength and conditioning, with the help of medical, sports psychology and nutritional support. Rowers are encouraged to pursue their sport at International level with every Olympic Games featuring CUBC athletes. Many students have not rowed before they come to Cambridge, and learn to row at their college before trialling with the university. We also run a development squad to help improving rowers accelerate their progress. Whilst preparing for the Boat Races, all crews will also race at the British Rowing Championships, the Fuller’s Head of the River Fours, the Women’s Eights Head of the River Race and the British Universities & Colleges’ Sport (BUCS) Regatta.
