Vikings Rowing Club is a men's Masters club at 150 Jane Street, West End, on the Brisbane River. The club focuses on men's health through regular training, social connection and competition.
It began with parents and old boys from Anglican Church Grammar School who met to race in school corporate regattas. A 2021 regional report dated its formation to about ten years earlier; no source found gives an exact foundation date.
The membership has since expanded to men from different schools and backgrounds, including members who travel from regional Queensland. Rowing Queensland recorded 60 members in 2024, a 24 percent increase on the previous year.
Vikings competes in the Brisbane Winter Racing Series, Head of the Tweed, Queensland Masters regattas, Head of the Brisbane, Head of the Yarra and Australian Outback Rowing Regatta. Its eight-week Learn or Return to Row program followed Come and Try days in 2024, with more sessions offered in 2025.
The club hosted the first Australian Outback Rowing Regatta in Barcaldine and Longreach in 2022. Its men's eight won the Gidgee after the handicap was applied, following a raw-time contest with Brisbane Grammarians.
Vikings also hosts Brisbane's Anzac Day remembrance row, which had run for 15 years by 2025. The 2026 event invited registered club and school crews to a flotilla on the Six Mile Reach and supported Legacy.
