history of australian national rowing championships

2025 Australian Masters Championships, Sydney International Regatta Centre NSW

Over 960 athletes from Australia and overseas competed at Sydney International Regatta Centre from the 29th May to the 1st June 2025.

Melbourne Rowing Club was dethroned as top ranked club at SIRC by North Shore Rowing Club, although MRC’s Rodney Stewart retained his title as the highest scoring male athlete. North Shore’s Olivia Tonge was both the highest scoring female athlete and highest scoring overall athlete.

South Australia swept the interstate crew races other than the W4x which was won once again by Victoria in their 8th consecutive victory.

Sue Donoghoe (ACT) won her fourth successive PR3W1x victory, and Kevin Wall (NSW) re-took his title in the PR3M1x.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
