The 2nd Women's Boat Race took place on 16 March 1929. The contest was between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and held on the River Thames along a half-mile course.
The first Women's Boat Race was conducted on The Isis in 1927. No race was held in 1928.
Cambridge were represented by Newnham while Oxford saw a mix of St Hilda's and Oxford Home-Students.
The crews were forbidden from racing side-by-side, so Cambridge rowed the 0.5-mile (0.80 km) course first, followed by Oxford. The contest was won by Cambridge in a time of 3 minutes 32.4 seconds, beating Cambridge by 0.4 seconds. The victory took the overall record in the competition to 1–1.
