American Collegiate Rowing Association


American Collegiate Rowing Association is one of the governing bodies of college rowing in the United States, together with the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Intercollegiate Rowing Association.

History

Established in 2008 by Gregg Hartsuff under the General Not for Profit Association Act of 1986, the American Collegiate Rowing Association is made up of club-level collegiate rowing teams.
The ACRA National Championship Regatta is considered the National Championship for collegiate club programs and all programs outside the NCAA/IRA structure.
The regatta is split into six regions: the Mid-Atlantic region, the Great Lakes region, the Plains region, the Northeast region, the South region, and the West Coast region. The ACRA is a broadcast partner of The Rowers Consortium of Huntington Harbour, California, who has broadcast the regatta on The Rowing Channel since 2014.
