OBUBC was founded in 1978 as the Oxford Polytechnic Boat Club (OPBC) where it was given its first home with Oxford Falcon Rowing and Canoeing Club and begun to enter competitions as a composite Polytechnic/Falcon crew.
In 1986, OPBC made its first competitive appearance at Henley Royal Regatta, only to get knocked out in the second round - but this laid the foundation of what would become many successes at the regatta, with the first win for the men at Henley Royal Regatta in the Temple Challenge Cup in 1993.
