- Ladies' Challenge Plate
The Ladies' Challenge Plate is one of the events at the prestigious
Henley Royal Regatta on theRiver Thames atHenley-on-Thames inEngland . Crews of men's eight-oared boats below the standard of theGrand Challenge Cup can enter, although international standard heavyweight crews are not permitted to row in the Ladies' Plate.The Ladies' Plate was first competed for in 1845, initially as the "New Challenge Cup". The following year, it became the "Ladies' Challenge Plate", and it has been competed for every year since, except for years which were affected by the two World Wars. Until 1966, the Ladies' Plate was originally for academic institutions in the
United Kingdom , andTrinity College, Dublin , but in 1967, the entry requirements were relaxed to allow entries from academic institutions throghout the world. Further changes in 1985 allowed entries from any club, and certain restrictions were placed on entries of theThames Challenge Cup to ensure that crews of the required standard entered the more senior Ladies' Plate.Winners
