2025 World Rowing Under 23 Championships

The World Rowing Under 23 Championships set the global standard in the age group, and the 2025 edition is held on the Malta lake in Poznan, Poland, from 22 to 26 July. The U23 worlds bring together the strongest crews from the leading nations for a world title.

Poznan's Malta lake is a well-known purpose-built course that has staged racing at every level, and its reliable conditions make it a venue where crews can race to their full potential. The midsummer date and the global field combine to make the heats themselves a serious contest before the finals take shape.

At this level the racing carries an unmistakable senior edge, with crews who already hold international experience pushing for the top step. For anyone reading the sport, Poznan offers a strong signal of which nations are bringing depth through their U23 ranks.
