The 1897 European Rowing Championships were rowing championships held on Lake Maggiore in the Italian commune of Pallanza on 8 September.[1] The competition was for men only, four nations competed (Belgium, France, Italy, and Switzerland), and the regatta had four boat classes (M1x, M2+, M4+, M8+). At the FISA Congress held on the same day as these championships, it was decided that the double scull boat class would be introduced in the following year.[2][3]
Four races took place on 8 September 1897. As only four nations competed, no heats had to be rowed. The regatta used a 2000 m course:[4]
