Rowing is one of the sports at the quadrennial Commonwealth Games competition.
It has been a Commonwealth Games sport since 1930.
It is an optional sport and may, or may not, be included in the sporting programme of future editions of the Games.
A separate event, the Commonwealth Rowing Championships, has been held in Commonwealth Games years since 2002.
Commonwealth Rowing Regatta events were also held in 1994 and 1999.
