Wallingford Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Thames by Thames Street, Wallingford, Oxfordshire.[1]
The club was formed in 1947 by the Wallingford Regatta committee. The club’s blade colours are scarlet with a light blue tip and a scarlet with sides trimmed light blue kit.[2] In December 2013 the club opened a new gym facility.[3]
The club produced five national title winning crews at the 2025 British Rowing Club Championships, which was a record haul for the club.[4]
