Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship
1895-2000

Early College Races

In 1852 the Boston-Concord-Montreal Railroad superintendent, J.N. Elkins, suggested that a race should take place and the railroad would assume the expenses. The Yale and Harvard boat captains agreed and the competition occurred at Center Harbor, Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. It was the first competition between colleges in any sport in the United States.

For the next few years the races were intermittently held. There were races in 1855 and 1857. In May, 1858 the Harvard magazine printed an editorial asking: “What say you, brothers, to a grand regatta for all the colleges of the United States” and continuing, “What say ye, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, Harvard, shall we introduce a new institution into America?” Thus, on May 26 delegates from rowing colleges met in New Haven, formed the College Union Regatta and racing rules were established. In Springfield, just days before the regatta, the Yale boat was struck by a powerboat and a crew member drowned. The race was abandoned. Thus the first attempt to organize a championship regatta was delayed.

Racing paused until “the rebellion” was settled. In 1864 racing resumed with Brown participating occasionally. Then in March 1871 the president of the Harvard University Boat Club organized a meeting of rowing college delegates in Springfield, Mass. to establish a “union regatta of American colleges”.

The convention of college delegates met and was attended by Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, and Harvard, while Yale “unofficially” attended. Thus, the Rowing Association of American Colleges was formed with a constitution, rules of eligibility and the first collegiate championship (of any college sport) planned. The site would be a straight course in Springfield. The rules of eligibility (undergraduates only with freshmen separated from upperclassmen) would, many years later, be adopted by a new national collegiate organization, the NCAA, for which collegiate crew (men), to the present time, has never joined.

This championship continued until 1876 when the unreliable currents of the Connecticut River and the unwieldy coxless-sixes caused havoc with the race results. After 1876 the races were held in four-oared shells, while Harvard and Yale departed the championship to pursue their own annual dual race.

With Harvard and Yale out, the championship began to lose momentum. However, during the next 17 years or so, many newspaper scribes referred to the non-H-Y race as the Intercollegiate Rowing Championship but the current IRA organization wouldn’t happen until 1895.

Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships

In 1895 the Stewards from Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania officially formed (or reformed) the Intercollegiate Rowing Association and resurrected the college rowing championship. The regatta’s first home was Poughkeepsie NY with only the three founding colleges attending, but grew over the next five or six years to become a major championship, but minus Harvard and Yale until 1997.

 

All IRA races were on straight courses with all crews abreast and started by shotgun. Races were in Poughkeepsie NY from 1895 through 1949. After WWII the regatta grew with more colleges competing. The regatta was moved to Marietta OH for 1950 & 1951 but were in sinking conditions. In 1952 the regatta moved again to Lake Onondaga, Syracuse NY where it grew to 16 colleges.

The IRA Varsity Challenge Cup was donated in 1898 by Dr. Louis L. Seaman of Cornell.

In 1964 & 1968, the race distance was 2km to prepare for the Olympic distance. Then in 1969 the Stewards made 2km permanent and adopted the 6-boat heats/repechage/finals format.
