In 2023, OUWBC merged with OUBC, OUWLRC and OULRC to form one Oxford University Boat Club.[3]
The training season ran from September through to July, with the major event, the Women's Boat Race against Cambridge University Women's Boat Club (CUWBC), happening in March or April.[4] Up until 2015 the Women's Boat Race had taken place over 2000m as part of the Henley Boat Races on the Henley Reach.
In 2015, for the first time, the Women's Boat Race took place on the 6.8 km Championship Course on the Tideway, and was televised on the BBC alongside the Men's Boat Race.
