The Stotesbury Cup Regatta is the largest youth regatta in the world! Come cheer on many local high school rowing teams as they compete. The Stotesbury Cup Regatta has been held continuously since 1927.

Exceptionally fine crews from all part of the United States and Canada travel to the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia to participate in the Stotesbury Cup Regatta. Over 5,000 competitors meet at the Athletes Village to experience both the spirit of rowing competition as well as the physical challenge of pitting themselves against the very finest crews rowing at the high school level.
