Red Iron Rowing Club - Waterford | Irish Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Red Iron Rowing Club is a leisure rowing club at Bilberry on the River Suir in Waterford. Its name comes from the nearby Red Iron Bridge, which appears behind the club's rowers in the earliest published account.

The club was being organised in 2021 through cooperation between Deise Boat Club and Waterford Dragon Boat Club. It was intended to have its own insurance and sporting rules under Sport Ireland while sharing a planned community boathouse.

Red Iron was set up as a non-competitive club focused on leisure rowing. At that stage the Deise group had a quad, two doubles and singles, while its dragon-boat partner had two boats and more than 50 members.

Rowing Ireland named Red Iron among five new clubs welcomed to the governing body in 2023. Waterford Sports Partnership now publishes a dedicated club contact, and Waterford Public Participation Network lists Red Iron Rowing Club at Bilberry as a full sports and outdoor-activities member.

The available sources do not publish a squad structure, competition record, event programme or permanent postal address. Those details are therefore omitted rather than inferred from the activities of the two founding groups.
