Rowing Ireland is excited to unveil its new and enhanced Membership Platform, designed to streamline the way members interact with the organisation and make club administration easier than ever before.

This upgrade introduces individual registration, giving members full control over their personal data and membership details for the first time. By adopting modern, member-led practices, this move is a significant step toward improving the overall rowing experience for both individuals and clubs.

Key Benefits of the New Platform:

  • Individual Registration: Members now register directly with Rowing Ireland, simplifying the process and reducing the administrative workload for club secretaries.
  • Data Control: Members can manage and update their personal details and track their membership status through a secure, personal profile.
  • Enhanced Reporting: Rowing Ireland now has the ability to generate detailed membership reports, supporting better decision-making, strategic planning, and funding applications.
  • Improved User Experience: The mobile-friendly platform is designed to be intuitive, making it easy for members to stay engaged and connected with the rowing community.

This transition marks an exciting opportunity for both club secretaries and members. Club secretaries will now have more time to focus on supporting rowers and managing club activities, while members gain greater autonomy over their participation in the sport they love.

Looking Ahead

In the coming weeks, Rowing Ireland will collaborate with its platform provider to offer webinars, resources, and FAQs to guide both clubs and individual members through the transition process.

Important Information for 2026:

  • There will be no increase in Rowing Ireland Club Affiliation or Member Registration fees for 2026.
  • New members can register with Rowing Ireland from September 2025, with this registration covering the 2026 season.
  • Entries for competitions in 2026 will continue to be managed through the Rowing Ireland tracker forum.

Let’s embrace this change and move forward together—rowers first!
