Nottingham Rowing Club is a rowing club in West Bridgford, Nottingham. The club was formed in 2006 as a merger of the Nottingham Boat Club and the Nottingham Britannia Rowing Club, two historic rowing clubs that were established in 1894 and 1869 respectively. Since the merger of the two clubs, the NRC has incorporated the former Nottingham Schools Rowing Association and the Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association. Members from the two founder clubs have had success in national and international regattas, and represented the Great Britain team at World Championship and Olympic level. The Britannia Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta is named after Nottingham Britannia Rowing Club, who donated the cup in 1969 to mark their centenary (). Successes by the club since its foundation include winning the Club Pennant at the 2008 Women's Eights Head of the River Race,〔() Women's HORR 2008 results pdf〕 while members of the new club have represented Great Britain at World Cup events〔(Tina Stiller ) ara-rowing.org〕〔(Wins and second places in Poznan ) ara-rowing 16 June 2008 retrieved 25 June 2008〕〔(Nine Golds at Banyoles ) ARA retrieved 11 June 2009〕 and won elite finals at Women's Henley.〔(Avril Vellacott Cup results 2008 )〕〔(10 broken records and the ‘highest ever standard’ at 23rd )〕 The current club has three boathouses situated on the River Trent in West Bridgford, as well as a presence at Holme Pierrepont.
