The Stotesbury Cup Regatta, sponsored by the Schuylkill Navy, is the world's oldest[1] and largest high school rowing competition.

[2] It is held annually in mid-May over a two-day period on the Schuylkill River near Boathouse Row in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Competing crews come from schools all over North America, though most hail from the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.

Currently, St. Joseph's Prep has won the Stotesbury Cup more than any other school with 15 wins of the Boys Senior 8+.

[3] Meanwhile, in Girls events, National Cathedral School (Washington, D.C.) has won the Senior Eight category twice (2016-2017) and finished second once (2014) in the last four years.

The river current is strongest in the final four hundred meters of the race as crews pass Peters Island on the west side of the course.

The Stotesbury Cup Regatta continues to grow in its size and level of competition as high school rowing gains popularity.
