Welcome to the Annapolis Irish Rowing Club. The AIRC is a club dedicated to promoting the nautical heritage of Ireland and the traditional Irish fishing and work boat, the Currach. We compete against other currach clubs across the U.S. from May through October. 

     Membership is open to anyone interested in traditional Irish rowing - and we are always looking for new rowers! Our homebase is the Charles Carroll House located at St. Mary's Church in downtown Annapolis. 

     We are a member of NACA - The North American Currach Association. Check out the NACA website! Click here to see it.

Annapolis Irish Rowers 
2007 NACA Champions!!

 It was a beautiful day at Solomon's as Annapolis held their 26th annual regatta. Albany, Boston, Columbus, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh all traveled down to see who would be the North American Currach Association Champion. It had been a tough, close race all year between Annapolis, 

Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Boston. The first race of the season was in Philadelphia. Philly came out on top, followed by Boston and then Annapolis. The second regatta had Philly in top place again. This time, Annapolis was able to outscore third place Pittsburgh by 10 points. In Milwaukee, the home team was able to sweep the regatta with the final race being a row-off. Annapolis and Pittsburgh tied for second. By the time the Boston Regatta came around, the Annapolis team had the new team members working together. They were able to win their first regatta of the season. The home team came in second, followed by Pittsburgh. With the groove on, Annapolis once again swept the next regatta, this time in Albany. All that was left to do was compete in their home regatta. For the second year in a row, Annapolis came out on top, the first time in NACA history that the same team has won the title two years in a row. Annapolis will be training hard for the 2008 season as they try to win a third year in a row.
