Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC) is the rowing club for the University of Oxford, England, located on the River Thames at Oxford. The club was founded in 1829.
The prime constitutional aim of OUBC is to beat Cambridge University Boat Club in the annual University Boat Race and Lightweight Boat Races on the River Thames.[1] OUBC's Openweight Men's squad currently trail Cambridge in the series by 86 races to 81, with 1 dead heat in The Boat Race 1877, while the Openweight Women's squad trail Cambridge by 45 races to 30.[2] The Lightweight Men's squad trail Cambridge by 29 races to 19, and the Lightweight Women's squad trail Cambridge by 22 races to 17.[3]
The reserve crews are called Isis (Openweight Men), Osiris (Openweight Women), Nepthys (Lightweight Men) and Tethys (Lightweight Women).
OUBC was one of five clubs which retained the right until 2012 to appoint representatives to the Council of British Rowing. The others were Leander Club, London Rowing Club, Thames Rowing Club and Cambridge University Boat Club.[4]
