FISA World Rowing Cup 2013 

The Rowing World Cup is an annual team competition, created in 1997, comprising three international regattas per year. A Rowing World Cup Champion is awarded in each boat class to the nation with the most points won in that boat class from the three regattas. Rowing World Cup regattas are held in the boat classes of the Olympic programme in effect at the time of the regattas. Each Rowing World Cup regatta also offers races in non-Olympic boat categories - these boat categories do not score points at Rowing World Cup regattas. In 2013, the Rowing World Cup series will take place in:  Sydney, Eton and Lucerne.

Lucerne (SUI) - July 13th - 14th

The "Rotsee" (Lake Rotsee) is a nature reserve on the city limits of the picturesque Swiss city of Lucerne and presents itself as a unique venue for the event. Its waters are ideal for competitive rowing. The lake’s size and shape enable Olympic-style six-line racing over 2000 metres; its geographical position makes the course arguably the fairest in the world. This event is the thrilling showdown before the 2013 World Rowing Championships in South Korea in late August.
