Oceania Rowing Confederation (ORCON)

The Oceania Rowing Confederation (ORCON)  was formed in 2010 by the three active rowing federations in Oceania at the time – Rowing Australia, Rowing New Zealand and the Vanuatu Rowing Association. Membership of ORCON currently consists of the following eight members of World Rowing: Rowing Australia, Rowing New Zealand, Vanuatu Rowing Association, Samoa Rowing Association, American Samoa Rowing Association, Kiribati Rowing Association, Fiji Rowing Association and Tonga Rowing Association. The rowing associations of Samoa, Tonga and Fiji are not currently active. The first and primary objective of ORCON is to develop and promote rowing within the Oceania region in cooperation with World Rowing.

ORCON was formally recognised by World Rowing as the Continental Rowing Confederation for Oceania at the 2018 World Rowing Ordinary Congress.
