The University of Texas at Austin rowing team celebrates winning the 2026 national championship, posing on a stage with their trophies.

Texas Rowing matched its school record with 130 total points to win the program’s fourth NCAA Championship on Sunday morning at Lake Lanier Olympic Park in Gainesville, Ga. Texas took home individual race national titles in the I Eight (66 points) and I Four (22 points) to give the Longhorns seven all-time individual golds, while the II Eight recorded a runner-up finish (42 points). 
 
Texas has won four national titles over the last six years, all under head coach Dave O’Neill in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2026. That makes the Longhorns just the second program all-time to win four titles in a six-year span, joining Brown from 1999-2004. The four national championships moves Texas into a tie for third-most all-time behind only Brown with seven and Washington with five, and equal with Cal.
 
The Horns have recorded a top-eight result in each of the previous 11 national regattas, including a top-four finish in each of the last nine national championships. It is the second time overall and first since 2024 that Texas has won two events at the same national championship.
