Cambridge won both Boat Races in 2025 for the third year in a row. This year, Oxford aims to turn the tide on the Light Blues.

The eight-member World Team and Team USA feature multiple Olympic champions and national team athletes competing in a Ryder Cup-style format in High Point, North Carolina. The regatta also includes collegiate, high school, and masters racing in a festival setting Saturday, April 18.

The Longhorns opened their spring season with demonstrative wins, while West Coast junior crews marked their mid-season progress against strong competition at the iconic event on Mission Bay.

The regatta brings together 19 NCAA Division I women’s programs, six top-tier IRA men’s squads, and Florida’s standout rowing schools for 2,000-meter racing to claim the team point based Benderson Cups.

Cal vs. Washington, Texas vs. Stanford—rivalries between the best and fastest men’s and women’s crews ever, each coached by men who traveled similar paths to the top—will likely produce this year's IRA and NCAA national champions.
