ABOUT

About the Richmond Rowing Club

The Richmond Rowing Club is a community based club which was established in 1863 and is the fourth oldest continually operating rowing club in the world. Situated on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia, the clubhouse provides stunning views of the Yarra River, the city skyline, Federation Square, Alexandra Gardens and the Victorian Arts Centre.

 

Our goal is to introduce people into the sport of rowing and encourage them to compete at the novice and intermediate levels of the sport. We cater for anyone who wishes to row or at least have a go.  Richmond members range in age from  under 18 to over 70, and include serious competitors as well as those who just want to row socially.  International travellers who want want to continue their rowing during their stay are also more than welcome.  Richmond Rowing Club is a community rowing club with an open membership policy, with an aim to make rowing an accessible sport for a wide community base.
