The '''2012 World Rowing Championships''' were [[World Rowing Championships]] that were held from 15 to 19 August 2012 at [[Plovdiv]], Bulgaria.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2012-world-championships/event-information |title=2012 World Rowing Championships: Event Information |website=WorldRowing.com |publisher=[[International Rowing Federation]] |access-date=21 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213056/http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2012-world-championships/event-information |archive-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The annual week-long [[rowing (sport)|rowing]] [[regatta]] is organized by [[International Rowing Federation|FISA]] (the International Rowing Federation), and held at the end of the northern hemisphere [[summer]]. Because the [[Rowing at the 2012 Summer Olympics|2012 Summer Olympics]] was the major rowing event in 2012, the programme was limited to non-Olympic events, and the [[2012 World Rowing Junior Championships|World Rowing Junior Championships]] were held at the same time.
