World Rowing Cup III

2023 - Lucerne (SUI)

Lucerne (SUI), 7th - 9th July 2023

The 2023 World Rowing Cup series will conclude in Lucerne, Switzerland with the third and final regatta in the series. This will be the last major international racing opportunity for many nations before the all-important 2023 World Rowing Championships in September, which will be the first opportunity for nations to qualify their boats for the Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Nearly 700 rowers from 52 nations will be competing across the 16 boat classes. Australia, Great Britain, and Germany will be sending the largest teams to the Rotsee, the “lake of the gods”, and will be looking to build on their World Cup standings from earlier this season – while the overall leader, Switzerland, will be trying to win the World Rowing Cup on home waters.
