The European Rowing Championships is an international rowing regatta organised by FISA (the International Rowing Federation) for European rowing nations, plus Israel, which, though not a member of the European federation, is treated as a European nation for competition purposes.[1]
The championships date back to 1893, the year after FISA was founded. Over time, the competition grew in status and as it was not restricted to European countries, became regarded as the quasi-world championships. The World Rowing Championships were commenced in 1962 and the last European Championships were held in 1973 as from 1974, the World Championships became an annual event. The European Championships were re-introduced in 2007 but with a narrower focus on Europe.
