National Women's Rowing Association

The National Women's Rowing Association (NWRA) was organized in 1963 to support and advance competitive women’s rowing in the United States. It was a central force in developing women’s rowing at the local, national, and international levels, including the decision to include women’s rowing in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. In 1982 the organization merged with the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen to form the United States Rowing Association (commonly referred to as USRowing), the current national governing body for the sport of rowing.
