Wyfold Challenge Cup
Rowing competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wyfold Challenge Cup is a rowing event for men's coxless fours (originally coxed fours until 1874) at the annual Henley Royal Regatta on the River Thames at Henley-on-Thames in England. It is open to male crews from a single rowing club. Boat clubs from any university, college or secondary school are not permitted.[1][2]
