Rowing is a cornerstone Olympic sport and Australian rowing has a long and proud history of success, consistently returning multiple medals at major international competitions.

Rowing continues to play an important part in Australia’s sporting culture, providing safe, fun and healthy opportunities for Australians of all ages and abilities to participate in a sport that provides unparalleled health benefits.

2 MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT OF ROWING AUSTRALIA

On behalf of the Board and Council of Rowing Australia, it is with great pleasure that I welcome athletes, coaches, sponsors, officials, guests and supporters to the 2018 Aon Sydney International Rowing Regatta.

It is a great honour for Rowing Australia to once again host this magnificent event, the pinnacle to the domestic rowing calendar in Australia. We are delighted to welcome teams from across the globe to compete this year, including Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallists, Ireland’s Gary and Paul O’Donovan, as well as 2017 World Champions Mark O’Donovan and Shane O’Driscoll. Joining our visitors from Ireland, are athletes from Hong Kong, Vietnam, Argentina, Japan and Indonesia to name but a few. It will be fantastic to have a variety of local and international rowers in action at the Sydney International Regatta Centre and we hope that everyone competing are warmly welcomed and enjoy the racing and facilities.

The number of events continues to grow at the regatta, when we started in 2013 it was 110 events, while as of last year we had 123 events with over 1800 competitors and over 27,000 spectators attending across the whole week. We are celebrating our one-year anniversary of our presenting partner, who, in 2017, signed up to a four-year partnership with Rowing Australia and the Sydney International Rowing Regatta. We are enjoying working with Aon and developing the Championships further alongside them. With their support, we are hosting a number of initiatives this week, including our Lunchtime Learnings and a Schools’ Barbecue.

The weeklong competition will of course see both the Australian Open and School Championships, as well as the King’s and Queen’s Cups Interstate Regatta. Next year will see us celebrate the centenary of the King’s Cup and the whole of Australia is no doubt very excited to see what the racing holds in the hotly contested Interstate Regatta, which brings out the best in interstate rowing rivalry.

As always, we thank the NSW Government for its continued support of the event, Hancock Prospecting and our Patron Mrs Gina Rinehart for her significant investment into our sport as well our other partners including Croker Oars, Tempur, 776BC

Sincere thanks must also be extended to the Rowing Australia staff for their expertise and professionalism in working tirelessly to organise this highly successful and enjoyable event.

Finally, an event such as the SIRR would simply not be possible without the steadfast support of the army of volunteers whose enthusiasm and tireless efforts epitomise the great spirit of cooperation that exists within the Australian rowing community and beyond. We have had another fantastic year of volunteer sign up this and I thank you all for your invaluable assistance for the pinnacle event in Australia’s rowing calendar.

I would like to wish every participant the very best of luck for their races throughout the week and hope all the spectators have a wonderful week watching the competition. I look forward to witnessing some great racing and enjoying the spectacle of the 2018 Aon Sydney International Rowing Regatta.

Rob Scott President and Chairman, Rowing Australia

6 HISTORY OF THE KING’S AND QUEEN’S CUP REGATTAS

THE KING’S CUP (INTERSTATE MEN’S COXED EIGHT)

Inter-colonial racing in eight-oared boats commenced in 1878 when the Victorian Rowing Association invited New South Wales oarsmen from the Sydney and the Mercantile clubs to boat crews for a race on the lower Yarra River over about four miles. Since 1921 the crews have competed for the King’s Cup. The trophy had been won by a First Australian Imperial Force crew at the Royal Peace Regatta held in London in 1919 and was provided by King George V and presented to Captain H. Disher on behalf of the victorious crew by Princess Arthur of Connaught. In time, and in against dogged resistance from the Australian War Memorial, the Victorian Rowing Association petitioned the King to express his intention for the Cup, and at his command it became the perennial trophy to be presented to the winning state representative men’s eight at the annual Australian Rowing Championships.

THE QUEEN’S CUP (INTERSTATE WOMEN’S COXED EIGHT)

The premier interstate event for women was the ULVA trophy which from 1920 till 1998 was a fours event. The trophy had first been presented by the United Licensed Victuallers Association (ULVA) of Queensland, and is affectionately known as Bertha. In 1999 the women’s interstate race was changed to an event for VIIIs. In 2003, the trophy became officially known as the Queen Elizabeth II Trophy, or the Queens Cup. The original ULVA trophy remains the perpetual trophy.

THE PRESIDENT’S CUP (INTERSTATE MEN’S )

An intercolonial race between New South Wales and Victoria was first held in 1868 and then annually from 1895 with Queensland also racing. Tasmania has consistently been represented since 1903. South Australia and West Australia have entered scullers with some regularity but not consistently until the 1960s. The first President of the Australian Amateur Rowing Council, Mr E.C. Watchorn, donated the President’s Cup in 1925 as the perpetual trophy for the annual Australian Interstate Single Sculling Championship.

THE NELL SLATTER TROPHY (INTERSTATE WOMEN’S SINGLE SCULL)

The first interstate championship for the Women’s Single Scull was not conducted until 1963 in and has continued annually since that date. The Nell Slatter Trophy was presented by the Queensland Women’s Rowing Association in 1963 to be the perpetual trophy for the event as a tribute to the then Queensland President Nell Slatter.

THE PENRITH CUP (INTERSTATE MEN’S LIGHTWEIGHT FOUR)

The Interstate Lightweight Four Championship was introduced in 1958 after a long history of within Australia. The Penrith Cup was presented to the Australian Amateur Rowing Council in 1958 by the Penrith City Council as the perpetual trophy for the event. The event was the pinnacle of a lightweight oarsman’s career until 1974 when the first FISA Championships were conducted.

7 THE VICTORIA CUP (INTERSTATE WOMEN’S LIGHTWEIGHT QUAD)

The first Women’s Interstate Lightweight Four-Oared Championship was contested on the Yarra River in Melbourne on 28th April, 1968. The Victoria Cup, presented by the Victorian Ladies’ Rowing Association, is the perpetual trophy for this event. In 1999, the change was made from to as most lightweight women’s rowing was in sculling boats due to the introduction of an Olympic women’s lightweight .

THE NOEL F WILKINSON TROPHY (INTERSTATE MEN’S YOUTH EIGHT)

The first Championship was conducted in Victoria in 1974, and in that same year, the Australian Rowing Council accepted an offer by Noel Wilkinson to provide a perpetual trophy for the event. Noel was a great fundraiser for both Australian rowing teams and Australian Olympic teams. He was also a long serving Treasurer of the Council.

THE BICENTENNIAL CUP (INTERSTATE WOMEN’S YOUTH EIGHT)

A women’s youth event was commenced in 1988 (the year of Australia’s Bicentenary) in coxed fours. The event became an eight oared event in 1994 due the continued growth in women’s rowing. The Cup was presented by the NSW Rowing Association.

PR3 MEN’S SINGLE SCULL

The PR3 Men’s Single Scull (formally the LTA Men’s Single Scull) made its debut in the Interstate Regatta in 2016. In its inaugural year it was won by Kevin du Toit of New South Wales. The race results contribute to the overall States’ point scores and help to decide who may win the Rowing Australia Cup at the conclusion of the Regatta.

PR3 WOMEN’S SINGLE SCULL

The PR3 Women’s Single Scull (formally the LTA Women’s Single Scull) made its debut in the Interstate Regatta in 2016. In its inaugural year it was won by Paralympian Kate Murdoch of New South Wales. The race results will contribute to the overall States’ point scores and help to decide who may win the Rowing Australia Cup at the conclusion of the Regatta.
