North Shore Rowing Club is a grassroots rowing club on Auckland's North Shore, listed here under its Boatshed name in Greenhithe, and it says it has been rowing since 1874, which makes it one of the oldest clubs in New Zealand. The club runs school, club and masters rowing, and it takes novices, recent school leavers and adults who want to return to the sport. Its masters squad trains on Lake Pupuke, and its intermediate, club and senior crews train from the Upper Harbour and race at regattas through the season, including the New Zealand Rowing Championships. Its learn-to-row programme runs from the Lake Pupuke training venue, and the club runs regular learn-to-row courses for masters, for people who have never rowed or sculled before. The club does not recruit athletes aged 16 or younger.
The club is raising money for a new facility, and donors can pledge to be recognised on a feature wall, on the boat bays or on the building itself. The club's values are respect, aspiration, team and enjoyment, and it has a published list of athletes who have represented New Zealand at U21 level through to the Olympic Games. For someone who wants to learn to row as an adult, or a school leaver wanting to continue, the club offers a long-established route into the sport on the North Shore.
