AUSTRALIAN HENLEY REGATTA
Yarra River – Henley Course Melbourne
Saturday 20th February 2027
The Course, The Tactics, The Challenge
The Australian Henley Regatta is a prominent eminence on the Australian rowing landscape. With a rich rowing history, the regatta is conducted over one mile on the Yarra River, Melbourne.
Rowers compete for Challenge Cups, some of which are among the oldest and most valuable perpetual trophies, dating back to 1860, for rowing in Australia.
ROWING at the Australian Henley is a two-lane knock-out format through three bridges and around two bends.
RACING at the Australian Henley requires skill, speed and match racing tactics to conquer the "Henley Mile".
WINNING at the Australian Henley is priceless.
If you think the Yarra looks good now, come down to see when it's at its best at the Australian Henley on February 20th!
A message from the Chair of the Australian Henley Regatta 2027
There are few traditions in Australian rowing quite like Henley.
On Saturday, 20 February 2027, we warmly invite you to join us on the banks of Melbourne’s Yarra River for another memorable celebration of rowing, friendship and tradition at the Australian Henley Regatta.
For more than a century, Australian Henley has brought crews together to race in the very heart of Melbourne. Against the backdrop of our beautiful city, rowers will once again take to the water, cheered on by family, friends, fellow competitors and generations of rowing enthusiasts from the riverbank.
Beyond the racing, Henley has always been an occasion to gather and celebrate.
The Henley Marquee will once again be at the heart of the day, offering guests traditional Australian Henley hospitality, with luncheon and drinks enjoyed from a wonderful riverside position overlooking the racing.
We encourage you to gather your friends, reunite your old intervarsity crew, bring current crew members and invite family and fellow rowing enthusiasts to join you for this very special day.
And, in the finest Henley tradition, rowing blazers and elegant summer dresses are warmly encouraged.
Whether you come to race, to support a crew, to renew old friendships or simply to enjoy the atmosphere of a summer’s day beside the Yarra, Australian Henley is an occasion to be shared.
Tickets are available through TryBooking.
We look forward to welcoming you to Australian Henley 2027 for a wonderful day of racing, tradition, friendship and celebration on the river.

President
and the Australian Henley Committee
