2023 World Rowing Championships – Team Announcement

The 2023 World Rowing Championships are taking place in Belgrade, Serbia from September 3rd to 10th. Rowing Ireland High Performance Director, Antonio Maurogiovanni, has today, August 21, announced the selection of 12 crews that will compete at this year’s event.

These championships act as the first opportunity for the Irish rowers to secure Olympic qualification spots for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. After this event, the last chance for Paris 2024 qualification will be next May at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne.

At the 2019 World Championships Rowing Ireland qualified four boats for the Tokyo Olympics followed by two more at the final qualification event.
