The Fairbairn Cup is an annual event organised in Michaelmas Term by Jesus College Boat Club. It is named after Steve Fairbairn, the most influential man in the history of Jesus College Boat Club and arguably in Cambridge rowing.
In 1927, Fairbairn arranged a provisional Lents line up and raced the crews off each other on the Cam. In 1928, the JCBC were joined by crews from Fitzwilliam, Sidney Sussex, Peterhouse and St. Catharine's. In 1929 the race was opened to all colleges and Steve Fairbairn donated a Cup - the 'Fairbairn Cup Races' were founded.
