About the Race

 

The Australian Boat Race is the rowing match race between the Sydney and Melbourne University Boat Clubs. Held annually, the venue alternates between the Yarra River in the heart of Melbourne and on the Sydney Harbour. It encapsulates the long-standing rivalry between two great cities and two great universities. It is set to become a showcase event on each of the cities’ iconic watercourses and is the new chapter of a 150 year old rivalry between these two Universities both on and off the water. In 2012 the race returns to Sydney Harbour.
