Hereford Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Wye, based at 37 Greyfriars Avenue, Hereford, Herefordshire, England.
History The first Hereford Regatta took place in 1859 and the creation of the rowing club took place at the Saracen's Head Inn on Wednesday 26 June 1861, with the first President being F. Kempson Esq.
The present clubhouse was built in 1958 and the eights boathouse was built three years before in 1958, on the same site as the original boathouse. The club won the prestigious Britannia Challenge Cup at the Henley Regatta in 1971 and produced a national champion crew in 2010.
