Poughkeepsie Regatta

Poughkeepsie Regatta

The Poughkeepsie Regatta is an annual regatta contested by the Intercollegiate Rowing Association in the United States. It was originally held in Poughkeepsie, New York, on the Hudson River, in 1895, with Cornell, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania competing. In 1950, it moved to Ohio, but eventually settled in 1952 in Syracuse, where it remained until 1995, when it moved to Camden, New Jersey.
