Rowing ACT was founded in 1964. Since that time many trophies have been created. Some of these trophies are no longer relevant, for example races involving tubs, some have been obscured by the mists of time or simply lost. However, a good number of trophies have endured and Rowing ACT has catalogued them to honour those who have been successful over the years. 

A full listing of trophies and other awards are set out at the bottom of this page.
