*Nominations for the 2023 Awards will now be collected via the online form below*

Our clubs and members are the backbone of our sport and organisation.

We want to celebrate that with your help. So we are delighted to launch our Inaugural Rowing Ireland Awards Night.

These awards will recognise and honour the fantastic work and the outstanding accomplishments of our rowers, coaches, clubs and volunteers throughout the year. 

We want you our clubs and members to tell us who you think should be nominated for these well-deserved awards. So we are encouraging all our incredible clubs to vote for those most deserving of these awards. You can choose someone in your club or outside of your club.

The presentation will take place at the Rowing Ireland Awards Night on Saturday, 18th of November 2023, at Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise.

We will announce next week who will be on the judging panel tasked with the challenging role of selecting the final awardees.

We look forward to seeing you all there on the night to help us celebrate the past year’s successes.

These unique awards that the Rowing Ireland crew has commissioned are being handcrafted by Kenny McDonald.
