History

Founded in the 1930s, Stella Maris Rowing Club is one of Dublin’s oldest and most
respected rowing clubs. With a rich history, the Ringsend outfit continues to nurture young
rowers, promote fitness and build lasting bonds within the community. All levels of
experience are catered for, from Junior right up to Senior level.
The Stella Maris Rowing Club is the most decorated Rowing Club of the East Coast. With
over 88 years of history, hard fought wins and well-deserved glory to our name, there is
always something to celebrate or get behind for our club.
Our racing season runs from April to September. The majority of this time is taken up
participating in Regattas along the East Coast of Ireland from as far north as Skerries to the
south of Arklow. We also take part in other rowing events throughout the country, such as
coastal scull events organised by Rowing Ireland and are affiliated through Rowing Ireland
for this type of rowing.
Every September we host the annual “Hope Row”, which has raised almost €100k for
various charities across the country.
Our rowers range from 10 years of age to the much older Vets we won’t put an age on! All
levels of experience are welcome within our club. Our Junior section of 10-18 year olds to
Adult Novice learners, Intermediate level, to those who have made their way to Junior and
Senior level
We have an extensive training programme available within our club with top of the range
facilities in our clubhouse. As part of your membership you will have full access to our gym,
kitted out with state of the art concept 2 rowers, exercise bikes, treadmill, weight lifting
equipment and more.
We are always on the lookout for new members. If you are interested in becoming a
