The majority of qualification places for rowing at the 2012 Summer Olympics were awarded based on results at the 2011 World Championships, held at Lake Bled, Bled, Slovenia, in August and September 2011. Those places were awarded to National Olympic Committees, not the specific athletes. Further berths were allocated at three continental qualifying regattas in Africa, Asia and Latin America (heavyweight single and lightweight double sculls only) and a final Olympic qualification regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.
