Opportunities for 2026
The Australian Boat Race boasts a longstanding tradition between Australia’s two oldest Universities, Melbourne and Sydney. Held annually, the venue alternates between the Yarra River in the heart of Melbourne and Sydney Harbour. It encapsulates the long-standing rivalry between two great cities and two great universities, has become a showcase event on each of the cities’ iconic watercourses, and is the new chapter of what’s now a 160-year-old rivalry between these two Universities both on and off the water.
The 2026 dates have not been confirmed but we expect to be racing a Men's and Women's 8 vs Sydney in Sydney harbour.
This week‑long tournament offers an incredible experience, with the team staying together in comfortable university‑provided accommodation for the entire event, with each member contributing to the cost.
Each team will comprise of men's & women's divisions. The team will be selected through team-run trials.
Additional details, including indicative pricing for the whole event, will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.
For many students, representing the University is a defining highlight of their studies.
