CUWBC fielded both a lightweight eight that races against Oxford at the Henley Boat Races, and two openweight eights that race at the Women's Boat Race.

The first side-by-side racing started in 1936. The first ''blues'' were awarded in 1941, when CUWBC raced against OUWBC. All of the rowers in 1941 were members of Newn ...
