The trophy was given to the CRA in 1923 on the dissolution of the Cambridge Amateur Rowing Club. It is awarded to the club attaining the best overall results when factoring in the number of crews rowing. To be eligible to win the trophy, a club must have at least one women’s and one open crew.

This trophy celebrates Stephen Allen's dedicated contribution to the Town Bumps over 25 years. The trophy is awarded to the club whose junior competitors achieve the best overall performance.
The scoring is similar to that for the John Jenner Trophy but calculated on the basis of individual junior participants, instead of crews, to reflect the fact that some crews will be of mixed ages, although it has also been awarded on decision of a committee.
Winners of the Stephen Allen Bowl are listed below.
