The Worcester (Massachusetts) Area Chamber of Commerce in 1961 established a trophy for the varsity heavyweight eight race.  The trophy is held for one year by the winning college.  The United Sates Navel Academy was the first crew to hold the Bowl.  In 1962 the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University tied for the honor. In 1963, Cornell University took the award even thought the Big Red had lost to the World Champion Ratzeburg Rowing Club.  The Germans were not eligible for the Worcester Bowl but received a special EARC trophy to commemorate their victory.
