The annual Varsity series between University of York and Durham University showcases the most successful sports teams from the institutions’ colleges in a series of action-packed sporting events.


Each sport has an A fixture, worth 5 points, and a B fixture, worth 3 points. York's college teams took part in Varsity Qualifiers during February 2024 to decide the top two teams who will represent Team York.
