The now defunct, short-lived National Collegiate Rowing Championship, often simply called the "Cincinnati Regatta," was a quasi- championship for men's and women's collegiate rowing, held in Cincinnati, Ohio, between 1982 and 1996.
It pitted the winners of the Eastern Sprints, the Pac-10s, the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National Championship and other crews invited at-large.
The invited crews usually included Eastern Sprints and Pac-10 medalists, and Harvard and Yale.
After the creation of the NCAA Rowing Championship for women in 1997, the Cincinnati Regatta dissolved.
Seven years later, Harvard and Yale returned to the IRA, the longstanding collegiate rowing championship regatta for men and, later, for lightweight women.
