Organisation

The Rotsee is one of the fairest regatta courses in the world and boasts a long tradition in international rowing. Lucerne has hosted World Championships on several occasions—most recently in 2001—and will build on this significant history with the 2027 World Rowing Championships.

With the annual Lucerne Regatta, the World Rowing Cup, and Olympic and Paralympic qualifying regattas, Lucerne is now firmly established on the international racing calendar and plays a central role in global rowing.

The 2027 World Rowing Championships will combine athletic excellence with international appeal and a lasting impact on the region, the sport, and society.
