The mission of the Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association is:
- The promotion and evolution of men’s collegiate rowing 
- Provide a forum and body to debate, discuss, and act on issues that affect the sport 
- Grow the sport at the youth and collegiate level 
- Embrace and support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sport of college rowing (including but not limited to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and gender identity). 
- Foster growth and development of rowing as a college sport in a manner that is demographically reflective of our society at large 
- Support and contribute to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic movement
