1984 Second Trans Tasman Under 23 Regattas– Australia

This series was for representative Australian and New Zealand crews. It was raced at Brisbane, Canberra and Penrith.

This series was far more even sided than the last but the point score still ended up in Australia's favour.

Australian Women's Four

New Zealand produced some good crews with their men's sweep crews being too good for the Australians and they shared honours in some of the sculling events. The lightweight men's four from Mercantile won all their events. Australia therefore retained the trophy with a points score of 74 as against 66 for New Zealand.

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.
