The United States Rowing Association, commonly known as USRowing, is the national governing body for the sport of Rowing in the United States.
It serves to promote the sport on all levels of competition, including the selection and training of those who represent the US at international level.
In 1982, the United States Rowing Association was formed by the merger of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, founded in 1872, and the National Women's Rowing Association, established in the early 1960s.
In 1985, the organization moved from Philadelphia to Indianapolis, home of several other Olympic sport governing bodies.
In 1994, Indianapolis became the only U.S. city to host a world rowing championship.
In 2006, USRowing moved its corporate headquarters to Princeton, N.J., home of the USRowing National Team Training Center.
USRowing registers more than 185 regattas across the country each year, ensuring they are run under specific safety guidelines.
The association also provides programs to educate referees and coaches.
USRowing also runs several regattas, including the USRowing National Championships, regional and national championships for masters and youth athletes, and the USRowing Indoor National Championships in partnership with the CRASH-B Sprints.
USRowing is also responsible for national team selection, and runs events to identify and select national team athletes including the National Selection Regatta and olympic trials.
USRowing is a member of the United States Olympic Committee and the International Rowing Federation.
