ABOUT THE INTERCOLLEGIATE ROWING ASSOCIATION

It is the oldest collegiate championships in the US for 125 years, interrupted only by two world wars, and year one of the Covid pandemic. The IRA has determined the best of the best in men’s college rowing, and more recently the National Collegiate Champions for Heavyweight and Lightweight Men and Lightweight Women.
