Newnham College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Newnham College, Cambridge. The club has a year-round senior squad and invites all members of the college to learn to row by joining the novice squads during Michaelmas or Easter terms.
The club was founded in 1893, making it one of the oldest women's rowing clubs in the world, and pioneered women's rowing at Cambridge University. The first bumps races for women were held in 1974 and since then have continued to be major events in the club's calendar.
