University of London Boat Club

University of London Boat Club (ULBC; boat code ULO) is the rowing club for the University of London and its member institutions, many of which also have their own boat clubs. The club has its boathouse on the Thames in Chiswick, London, UK. It is a designated High-Performance Programme funded by British Rowing.

The University of London Boat Club was formed in 1921.

ULBC has been represented at every Olympic Games since 1960:

Some of the University of London's member institutions have their own boat clubs. Members of these clubs can try out for a place in the University of London Boat Club squad.[citation needed]

The senior crews of these institutions compete annually for the Allom Cup, while the medical schools take part in the United Hospitals bumps races. Both of these contests take place on the Tideway.

The club shares its facilities with an alumni club, UL Tyrian Club. The Tyrian Club has won multiple titles at the Henley Royal Regatta, the most recent being the Wyfold Challenge Cup in 2013.

In 2015 UL Tyrian won events at Henley Masters Regattas and at the Head Of The Charles Regatta, in the USA. In 2019 a UL Tyrian won events at Henley Town & Visitors Regatta and UL Tyrian competed at the World Costal Championships in Hong Kong. The blade colours are purple and white; kit: purple.

ULBC won the Victor Ludorum at the British Universities and Colleges Sport regatta for the first (and, as of 2024, only) time in 2014.
