Courtmacsherry Rowing Club - Courtmacsherry | Irish Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Courtmacsherry Rowing Club is a coastal club founded in 1991 and based at Courtmacsherry Beach in West Cork. Its current site is on Beach Road, and Rowing Ireland event documents place the club and its hosted racing in Courtmacsherry village.

The club lists 11 boats: three Celtic fixed-seat yawls named Mary G, Barry W and Paddy B; the traditional yawl Argideen Queen; two coastal quads; two coastal doubles; and three coastal singles. Its membership includes younger and older rowers who compete at regattas.

Courtmacsherry hosted the Irish Coastal Rowing Federation All-Ireland Championships in 2012. Contemporary reporting recorded 44 clubs, 493 crews and 2,475 competitors across 36 heats and 38 finals at Broadstrand over three days.

A local club listing records All-Ireland senior men's titles in 2011, 2013 and 2015, plus the 2015 senior mixed title. It also credits Courtmacsherry crews with pre-veteran men's, junior women's, under-21 men's, under-12 boys' and under-14 boys' national honours between 2011 and 2016.

The same record identifies Courtmacsherry as host of the Cork County Finals at Broadstrand in 2010 and 2015 and the Irish Open Coastal Rowing Championships in 2016. The club has continued to stage racing, including a 2025 beach sprint regatta and the 2026 Swift Racing Coastal Senior Championships.

Planning permission was granted for a boathouse on the existing Beach Road site. The club says the project is intended to provide permanent land training, changing and boat-storage facilities. Its own site continues to publish South West Coast Yawl Rowing Association regatta fixtures.
