Representing Cambridge or Oxford in a Varsity match earns players a ‘Blue’, the highest sporting achievement within the Universities. Each year, over 300 players of all genders compete for the right to play in a rugby Varsity match in hopes of taking home victory for their side.

Since 2024 the Varsity Matches have been played at StoneX Stadium in North London, home of Saracens Rugby Club, one of the top performing clubs in English rugby in both their men’s and women’s teams. The Varsity Matches partners closely with Saracens on all aspects of the event.

Through the stadium event, digital media, and livestreaming to over 50,000 viewers, the Varsity Matches attract a global audience of Cambridge and Oxford University students, alumni and partners, as well as rugby enthusiasts.
