Sheffield University Rowing Club or 'SURC' is the rowing club for The University of Sheffield and is based on Damflask Reservoir near Lower Bradfield, Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The club was founded in 1964 by a small group of students from Sheffield University. Based at Damflask Reservoir, within the Peak District, the boat house used by the club is shared with Sheffield City RC and Sheffield Hallam University RC. The club relies on donations from alumni, competitions and annual membership to care for the upkeep of their boats and equipment.
The Sheffield Varsity has run since 1997. During that time, Sheffield University RC has never lost the Varsity competition against their Sheffield rivals Sheffield Hallam University RC.
