ABOUT THE CLUB

Rowing in the heart of West Cork

Rosscarbery Rowing Club is a community coastal rowing club based in Rosscarbery, West Cork. The club provides coaching, competitive and recreational rowing opportunities for junior and adult members.

From a young rower's first sessions to championship crews and international competition, the club is built around participation, development, teamwork and a love of rowing.

OUR HOME

Our home on the Lagoon

The Lagoon is part of both Rosscarbery's landscape and the club's identity. It gives generations of rowers a distinctive place to learn, train and race, while crews also take to coastal waters across West Cork and beyond.
