Not annually from 1852 but "First contested in 1852, annually since 1859" --at best (except for wars or whatever we say). That is clear from the linked history by Harvard SID John Veneziano, "America's Oldest Intercollegiate Athletic Event."
Thanks, now I see that Harvard SID misspelled Winnipesaukee in two ways and I corrected only on the 1850s year or decade pages. Oops.
Have they played "The Game" [American football] annually since 1875 except for wars, as the previous version suggests (1852+23=1875)? The present text may suggest that "The Game" is second-oldest among American intercollegiate athletic rivalries, a stretch. But it may be ok here, no more than a very soft gibe at the American footballists. -- P64 02:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Surely "longer" should be in the context of the distance of the race rather than the finishing time? On this basis, The Boat Race is the longer race by 374 yards. Finishing times vary by huge amounts depending on stream, tides etc. -- ukexpat 17:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
It is not clear that any of the trophies awarded for the Yale-Harvard Regatta are notable enough alone to merit articles. They would likely be better served by subsections of the main regatta article. CharlusIngus ( talk) 00:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Why does Yale have a slightly longer race time than Harvard, but Yale shows as winning? Typo? Transposed times? 69.76.177.72 ( talk) 09:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Today I added a Harvard University Boat Club source via Internet Archive (ref name=HUBCdata). I reconciled our listed Times for 1852 to 1906 with that source, hiding the previous listings in WP:COMMENTs. Thus I made ten changes in the varsity race Time fields, all from 1876 to 1903. Evidently those changes undo ten changes made by another editor two years ago ( 2011-04-05 revision). See also the preceding section.
So we know two sources that have been used for the main table (varsity race results) 1852 to 1903, and one source 1904鈥1906. --now named [ref name=HUBCdata]; [ref name=almanac]
I wrote up one other online source previously identified here ( Note #8) as the formal [ref name=row2k. Its scope is 1997 to date. I did not check that it does support our listings.
For year 2010 only we have another formal reference, [ref name=Yale2010].
None of those four sources, presently Refs #7 to #10, covers any results between 1906 and 1997. --unless User:99... misdescribed [ref name=almanac] which I have not seen; see preceding section

"Freshman" appeared many times and "freshmen" twice so I replaced the latter two. I suppose "freshmen" is correct in U.S. collegiate team sports but confirmation is not at hand. -- P64 ( talk) 18:11, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I believe it should be "freshmen", not "Freshman" 鈥斅燩receding unsigned comment added by Uselessbay2000 ( talk 鈥 contribs) 02:37, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Two months ago James P. Snider Cup was merged with this article by import of two paragraphs which remain in section Cups and this table which I deleted as redundant.

The "Exhibit" field is my talk page addition showing the team-name displays that are used in this article. The "Winner" background colors may be superior. -- P64 ( talk) 18:40, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
This year's HY Regatta follows the end of the spring semester, Yale commencement (May 20), Harvard commencement (May 30), and the Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship regatta (June 1-3). The long history of primarily June dates suggests to me that it may always have followed the spring semester.
It seems important to cover at least the basic facts both currently and historically. First and foremost, do the teams include seniors regardless of the Regatta date during the academic year? (Is there one general answer for all U.S. spring term intercollegiate sports?) If so, do they generally retain all seniors from their strongest crews?
H and Y participated in the 2003 IRA Championships for the first time in more than 100 years, we say there. [3] Harvard was the heavyweight eights champion 2003 to 2005. [4] Do H and Y crews now always participate when they are invited?
