King’s has a very proud history of rowing at the University level. In fact, the College has only lost the ICC Regatta once in the last 15 years. In 2023, both the Men’s and Women’s crews won every race at the final Regatta.

The VIII has won 54 of 60 races held in the last 15 years at the Inter College level at UQ. Quite deliberately and to provide students with better opportunities to row and to be present on the world stage, the College nominated the VIII to compete at the Henley Royal Regatta in 2015, in the Temple Challenge Cup.
