University rowing in Canada is overseen by the Canadian University Rowing Association (CURA). The purpose of the association is to promote and act as the governing body for rowing programs at accredited universities and colleges throughout Canada. CURA also organizes the annual championship regatta, while recognizing the jurisdiction of Canadian Interuniversity Sport and/or Rowing Canada Aviron. McGill University hosted the annual regatta on the Olympic Basis in Montreal.
