Rowing
at the Games of the XXI Olympiad
VenueOlympic Basin at Notre Dame Island
Dates18–25 July 1976
Competitors593 (388 men, 205 women) from 31 nations

Rowing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal featured races in 14 events, all held at the rowing basin on Notre Dame Island. Women's events held at 1000 m debuted (they would be lengthened to the men's events of 2000 m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul).[1]

There was a desire by the IOC's program commission to reduce the number of competitors and a number of recommendations were put to the IOC's executive board on 23 February 1973, which were all accepted. Rowing was the only sport where the number of competitors was increased, and women were admitted for the first time in Olympic history.[2] The quadruple sculls events were introduced at this Olympics, without coxswain for men and with coxswain for women.[3]
