2026 THE IRISH☘️head of the charles, boston October 16–18
Notre Dame Rowing returns to the Head of the Charles October 16–18, with generations of Irish rowers taking on the Charles—from alumni and alumnae racing throughout the weekend to the current men’s team in the Club 8+, Collegiate 4+ and Collegiate 8+.
If you’re in Boston, show up for the Irish. Wear your Notre Dame gear, find us at Weeks Footbridge, and make some noise as the crews come through.
Follow the Irish all weekend—and help us give the men’s team and our racing alumni a Notre Dame welcome on the Charles.
