Inver Colpa Rowing Club Drogheda was established in 2011 after a successful charity row from the Isle of Man that year.
The club has since then been affiliated to the Irish Coastal Rowing Federation and has grown in size and experience ever since.

The four founding members of the club are Martin Murphy, Stuart Heslin, Dessie McDonald and Robert Finglas.
