International representative rowing

In 1997 Berney made his Australian representative debut in the Lyall McCarthy coached men's lightweight eight. At the 1997 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, Berney rowed in the four seat of that boat to a thrilling final victory by 0.03 seconds with only 1.5 lengths separating the field. Berney won his first and only World Championship title.[2] In 1998 Berney rowed with his team-mate Alastair Isherwood from the '97 eight in a lightweight coxless pair. They won silver and then gold at two World Rowing Cups that year in Europe before racing that pair at the 1998 World Championships in Cologne to a fifth place finish.[2] It was Berney's last Australian representative appearance.[2]

In 2013 Jon Berney was inducted into the Rowing Victoria Hall of Fame.[3]
