Tullaghan Bay Rowing Club - Tullaghan Bay | Irish Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Tullaghan Bay Rowing Club, also styled Club Rámhaíochta Tullachain, was established in 2013 at The Ferry on Tullaghan Bay in County Mayo. It grew from the community's Cruinniú na mBád gathering and its long-standing local boat races.

The club combines three strands: traditional currach racing, coastal rowing and indoor rowing. Its current programme runs throughout the year and is open to beginners and experienced rowers, with junior and adult teams training both on land and on the water.

Indoor sessions use rowing machines to develop fitness and technique during the off-season. At the 2024 National Indoor Championships in Limerick, the club won ten gold, two silver and four bronze medals, including junior mixed and girls' team titles.

The coastal section competes in endurance and beach-sprint formats. Its 2026 calendar includes the Irish senior coastal championships at Wicklow, the Irish junior championships at Bantry and endurance regattas at Courtmacsherry, Tullaghan Bay and Kenmare.

Currach crews follow a separate programme of points regattas and challenge races. The same calendar lists An Tostal at Salthill, Belmullet, Féile Mhic Dara, Cornamona, Doonbeg, Blacksod and the club's Cruinniú na mBád.

The 2024 Cruinniú na mBád included the Phelim Henry Memorial Cup and Michael Gerard Reilly Memorial Cup. A community report names the winning and runner-up crews and records the event as part of the Geesala Festival.

Rowing Ireland welcomed Tullaghan Bay among five new affiliated clubs in August 2023, while the Irish Coastal Rowing Federation handbook lists the club in Mayo. Rowing Ireland's 2026 calendar also confirms Tullaghan Bay as host of an endurance regatta on 29 August.
