The 1878 crew team that won the Henley Regatta
Columbia's Rowing team was founded in 1873. The program consists of three distinct teams today, Men's Heavyweight, Men's Lightweight (founded in 1922), and Women's Rowing (founded in 1986).
In 1878 the "Columbia College Boat Club" became the first non-English team to win a race at the Henley Royal Regatta. The team last won a US national championship in 1929.
Currently, they practice on the Harlem River. Why they moved their boathouse from the Hudson, nobody knows.
The Heavyweight crew season is divided between fall appearances by the varsity crew at the Head of the Charles Regatta (at Harvard) and the Princeton Chase, and the freshman crew at the Head of the Schuylkill (at Penn) and Belly of the Carnegie (at Princeton), followed by Cup Season in the spring where it takes part in a series of regattas, followed by the Eastern Sprints and IRA National Championships.
The "Ivy League Champions" are determined at the Eastern Sprints. Columbia's only title at the sprints (Ivy or outright) was the 1999-2000 Men's Lightweight crew. Columbia holds three IRA National titles: 1914, 1927, and 1929.
The 2008 Men's Heavyweight team set a record by winning the first Blackwell Cup in 67 years and the first Maxwell Stevenson Cup in 45 years, achieving the feat in a single weekend.[1][2][3]
