Welcome to the website of Killarney Regatta

Senior Six Medeal 1925

2009 marked the 224th annual Killarney Regatta. With such a history we decided to create a website where everyone can view and contribute to a vast collection of results, photograps, past programmes and much more. Over time we hope that this site will continue the great historical work started in the 1985 book Killarney's Rowing Story and the 1993 book from Fossa Rowing Club - A Century of History.

Be sure to check out the results section dating back to 1847.

Also have a look at old regatta programmes with the names of all the competitors dating back to 1911 or browse through the photograph section of many past crews beginning 1893.

Old Programmes From 1911 Added

You can find some very interesting old programmes in the programmes section by clicking here or by going to the programmes menu above. Thanks to Billy Kenny and Kieran Murphy for giving us the opportunity to share these great historical documents.

The additional years are 1911, 1913, 1915, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936.

Some are from the Innisfallen Regattas and have very good detail about crews, courses and entertainment as well as additional events like the Kerry 100 Yards Swimming Championshp in 1924.

Billy Kenny also provided some old photographs. They can be viewed here.

New Photographs of the 2010 August Regatta!

 

You can find some great photographs of crews from all clubs taking part in the August regatta by clicking here or by going to the photographs section above. Thanks again to Pat O' Doherty.

The results from the 2010 Killarney Regatta can be found here.

As many of the crew names will have changed from the original programme, any help with the August crew names would be very much appreciated. You can email them here.

 

Help Wanted!

We need your help. Most of our results in the results section are accurate, but it is inevidable that some errors or ommissions will have been made in the years dating back to 1847. Let us know of any corrections by emailing us here. We also need more photographs particularly from Workmen, Flesk Valley, Muckross and St. Brendan's.
