HOME HISTORY THE EVENT COMPETITORS SPECTATORS ACCOMMODATION CORPORATE MEDIA NEWS
 
A warm, New Zealand welcome to the official web site for the 2010 World Rowing Championship, which will take place at Lake Karapiro in 2010.
In 2006 New Zealand secured the rights to hold the 39th World Rowing Championship, and in doing so became one of only a handful of world rowing nations that have held more than one championship.

The date for the event has moved and will now run between 29th October and 7th November 2010.

The first time the event came to New Zealand in 1978 and is still recalled by many of the rowing community worldwide as one of the greatest ever world championships. In 2010, we are aiming to give New Zealand and world rowing another historic event.

Over the next two and a half years in the build up to the big event, we’ll be updating and developing this web site to bring you important news, useful links and valuable information you’ll need to know if you are going to be a spectator, a volunteer, an official, a team member, coach or a competitor!

We’ll also tell you more about Lake Karapiro and its rich culture and history, the Waikato region, the North Island and indeed the whole of New Zealand.

Enjoy the site, and thank you for joining us on the journey to 2010 - and don't forget the dates: OCTOBER 29th - NOVEMBER 7th 2010
