Rowing Australia Cup

This trophy was presented to Rowing Australia in 1999 by its then principal sponsor Zurich Financial Services for presentation to the State with the highest points scored from racing in each Interstate Championship.

The cup itself is one of only 500 in the world that were made from the sands collected by Olympians from every Olympic country in the world.

Naturally the cup is presented after the last Interstate Championship each year to the Councillor of the winning State.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
