Leeds Rowing Club
Welcome to Leeds Rowing Club
For many years Leeds was the largest city in the UK without an open rowing club. With a population of nearly a million people, the demand for a facility in the city was overwhelming. The club opened its doors to members in 2006 and has never looked back. Leeds Rowing Club provides a friendly atmosphere which can cater for people at all levels, from recreational to elite standard.
We welcome new members of all abilities

Our Facilities
In September 2014, a new £1m boathouse in South Leeds was opened, which was funded by ourselves, the University of Leeds, British Rowing, Sport, England and WREN. The Leeds Boathouse is the hub for senior, Under-23, junior and high-performance rowing in Leeds.
