Established in 1967, Porirua Rowing Club has been introducing people to the sport of rowing and fostering a love of being on the water for nearly 60 years. Based on the shores of Porirua Harbour, we are dedicated to building a vibrant rowing community where people of all ages and abilities can learn, develop, compete, and enjoy the sport. Whether you’re looking for fitness, competition, adventure, or friendship, you’ll find a welcoming environment and a place to belong at Porirua Rowing Club.

As a volunteer-run club, we are built on community, connection, and a shared passion for rowing. Our mission is to promote physical fitness, teamwork, personal growth, and a lifelong enjoyment of rowing. We value inclusivity, perseverance, respect, and sportsmanship, providing opportunities for everyone from first-time rowers to experienced athletes. But Porirua Rowing Club is more than just a place to row… it is a place where people challenge themselves, build confidence, achieve personal goals, make lifelong friendships, and create lasting memories. From learning to row for the first time to representing schools and competing at regattas, our members are supported every step of the way.
