History[]
The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, predecessor of the USRA, first held a National Championship regatta in 1873.[2]
As early as 1999, the USRA held separate "Club National Championships" ("Club Nats") and National Championships events.[3] The National Championships was called "Elite National Championships" starting in 2007.[4] Club Nationals was intended for youth, intermediate, and senior level athletes, while Elite Nationals was intended for elite athletes. Elite level events were added to Club Nationals in 2016 and the Elite Championships event was eliminated, The name of the regatta was changed to "National Championships" in 2019 to reflect the inclusion of elite events.[5]
