Welcome to Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club

Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club (CUWBC) is the women’s rowing club at the heart of the University. It is comprised of the most ambitious and promising athletes that emerge out of the 31 college boat clubs.
Formed in 1927, CUWBC exists today to give University of Cambridge students the opportunity to compete against their Oxford University counterparts in the annual Henley Boat Races, a side-by-side race along a 2-kilometre stretch of the Henley Reach. The event, which attracts up to 7,000 spectators at the venue in Henley on Thames, consists of four main   competitions, of which CUWBC compete in three: the Women’s Blue Boat race; the Women’s Heavyweight Reserves race; and the Women’s Lightweight race. To date CUWBC has a win tally of 77 to Oxford University’s 50.
