The 2015 World Rowing Championships were World Rowing Championships that were held from 30 August to 6 September 2015 at the Lac d'Aiguebelette, Aiguebelette-le-Lac in France.^[1]^[2]

Description

The annual week-long rowing regatta was organized by FISA (the International Rowing Federation). In non-Olympic years the regatta is the highlight of the international rowing calendar; as 2015 was a pre-Olympic year, the championships were also the main qualification event for the following year's Olympics and Paralympics.^[3]^[4]

For the first time, Rowing New Zealand started in all (14) Olympic boat classes.^[5]
