The 2026 European Rowing Championships were held from 31 July to 2 August 2026 on Lake Varese, Italy. Organised by World Rowing, it was the 19th consecutive edition of the European Rowing Championships since they were revived in 2007.
Overview Organised for the first time in 1893, the first edition of the European Rowing Championships was held on Lake Orta, Italy. The championships were held annually until the 1973 edition, after which they were discontinued. They were reintroduced in 2007 and have been held annually since. The 2026 edition, organised by World Rowing, was held from 31 July to 2 August on Lake Varese, Italy. There were openweight and lighweight events both for men and women, as well as mixed and pararowing events.
Medal summary Medal table Romania topped the medal table after winning four gold medals on the final day, including victories in all three eights events. The final day's racing was affected by severe weather, which forced a temporary evacuation of Lake Varese and changes to the racing schedule.
