Trophy details Quick links to groups of trophies

As our resources increase we will endeavour to make the history of each NZSSRA trophy available. Hopefully, with the cooperation of the rowing community and schools we will also be able to complement the trophy histories with rolls of the winning schools and perhaps even the names of the winning crews. If you have any information regarding the history of any of the trophies (including winning schools/crews) please email it to [email protected]. Thank you.

For information about donating trophies see Regulation 19.

Top Ten badges

In addition to trophies, NZSSRA also awards Top Ten badges annually. These go to the crew members of the top 10 crews in Under-18 events (excluding Under-18 Novice) at the New Zealand Championships, provided there are least 11 crews competing (see Regulation 18).

Students receive a Top Ten badge each year they qualify (not one per event). There are 5 different coloured badges; awarded in a 5-year cycle. This means it is (theoretically) possible for a student to leave school with a complete set of 5 different coloured badges:

* Maadi was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2020 so no badges were awarded and green was held over to 2021
