Oxford University Women's Boat Club (OUWBC) was the rowing club for female rowers (and coxes of either sex) who were students at the University of Oxford.[1] The club was founded in 1926 and was based in Wallingford at the Fleming Boat House, along with OUBC, OUWLRC and OULRC.[2]
In 2023, OUWBC merged with OUBC, OUWLRC and OULRC to form one Oxford University Boat Club.[3]
The training season ran from September through to July, with the major event, the Women's Boat Race against Cambridge University Women's Boat Club (CUWBC), happening in March or April.[4] Up until 2015 the Women's Boat Race had taken place over 2000m as part of the Henley Boat Races on the Henley Reach.
In 2015, for the first time, the Women's Boat Race took place on the 6.8 km Championship Course on the Tideway, and was televised on the BBC alongside the Men's Boat Race.
In 2023, OUWBC was dissolved as a part of a merger between the various rowing clubs that represent Oxford at a University Level into one Oxford University Boat Club.[5]
