About

UCD Boat Club can trace its roots back to 1917, with UCD Ladies Boat Club founded in 1974. The clubs are based in the boathouse at Islandbridge, Dublin 8, shared with Old Collegians Boat Club. Training also takes place in Blessington and in the UCD Sports Centre. We are always welcoming new members.

Both UCD clubs are currently on a strong run of form thanks to the dedication of their members, coaches & committee. The clubs has been producing Irish international oarsmen and oarswomen since 1948 and it is one of the aims of the club to continue this trend and provide the support and coaching necessary to achieve this goal.

The clubs Junior and Senior committees, with help from UCD Sport, ensure that the club’s day-to-day operations run smoothly, and that the club is adequately financed every year, allowing club members to compete at the highest level without distraction.
