The Full Story
About RRC
Ring Rowing Club is a community-focused coastal and off-shore rowing club based in Clonakilty, Cork, Ireland.
​
Rowing is more than a sport here - it’s a way to build strength, confidence, teamwork and resilience on the water. The club welcomes members of all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced rowers.
Our junior programme includes training and racing opportunities for age groups including U12, U14 and U16, with mixed doubles and quads as regular boat classes.
Over the years, Ring Rowing Club crews have competed successfully at regional and national coastal rowing events, bringing home medals and strong results.
We are run by volunteers who love the sport, and aim to make rowing safe, fun and rewarding for everyone - especially young people discovering the joy of being on the water.
​
We're committed to sustainibility - Our clubhouse is fully off-grid, powered sustainably and designed to minimise our impact on the environment while maximising our time on the water.
