Loughros Point Rowing Club is a current Rowing Ireland club in County Donegal. The governing body lists it for river rowing and coastal sculling, with black and red club colours.

The club was founded around 2010 after a group at a wedding decided to obtain a boat and enter Teelin Regatta. By 2018 it had grown from one boat to fourteen boats on the lake and had about 60 members, around 40 of them under 21.

Its lead coach said the fleet included boats for beginners and more experienced rowers. The club had eight volunteers who had completed Rowing Ireland coaching courses and was preparing an adult recreational programme supported by three rowing machines.

At Mountcharles Regatta in 2018, five Loughros Point teams returned with five cups: under-14 and under-16 girls, under-16 and under-21 boys, and senior men. The club then sent thirteen crews to that year's Irish Coastal Championships.

In July 2021, four Loughros Point athletes raced at Lough Rynn Regatta. The club described them as the first team from Donegal to attend an Olympic-style river rowing event.

The club also runs coastal events. It hosted an eighteen-race masters regatta off Narin Beach in 2021 and the 2023 Swift Irish Coastal Championships at Portnoo, with entries spanning junior, senior and composite coastal crews.
