NCAA Rowing Championships Coming To Camden County In 2023

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — The Camden County Boathouse will host the 2023 NCAA Divisions I, II, and III Women’s Rowing Championships, county officials announced Monday morning. Temple University is the designated host of the event.

It is one of five NCAA championship events that were awarded to the Philadelphia region on Oct. 14. It will take place from May 26-28, 2023, and is expected to bring thousands of competitors, officials, and spectators, to Camden County.

“We are honored to be hosting the 2023 NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships at one of the nation’s finest rowing venues,” Freeholder Jeff Nash, liaison to the Camden County Parks Department, said. “Cooper River Park has evolved and grown into an elite rowing course with the best straight away lanes in the country and very little current. We are looking forward to having athletes, teams and families come and stay with us for this momentous event and accommodating the top rowers competing at the highest levels in the United States.”

The other events that have been awarded to the region include:

• The 2023 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship hosted by Drexel at Lincoln Financial Field;
• The 2024 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship hosted by Drexel at Lincoln Financial Field;
• The 2025 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship hosted by Drexel and Penn at the Wells Fargo Center; and
• St. Joseph’s will host games in the first two rounds of the 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball at the Wells Fargo Center.

The awards were made possible thanks to a 13-month collaborative regional effort which included the City of Philadelphia, the Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association, Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field, Camden County Boathouse, Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University and Saint Joseph’s University.
