  2. Welsh Varsity returns to the capital for 25th tournament

    The 2023 Welsh Varsity tournament will be returning to Cardiff for the first time since 2019 as student teams from Swansea and Cardiff University go head-to-head in its 25th year.

    For what is arguably the biggest day on the student calendar, Varsity is a festival of sport which sees students from Swansea University and Cardiff University battle it out in over 30 sports, including both the men’s and women’s rugby matches which will be played at Cardiff Arms Park.

    Varsity has been ever-present on the sporting calendar for both Swansea University and Cardiff University since it began in 1997 and has gone from strength-to-strength each year. For its quarter-century anniversary, the sporting showpiece will be taking place on Wednesday, April 26 2023, with over 10,000 students cheering on the teams in the Welsh capital.

    After being cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions, The Welsh Varsity made a hugely successful return in 2022 at Swansea’s Sketty Lane and the Swansea.com Stadium.

    Olivia Evans, VP Sports and Athletic Union President at Cardiff University, said: “It is so exciting to have Varsity back in Cardiff after 4 years away and I have no doubt that our Team Cardiff will be on top form for this monumental home fixture. This year we will be giving the Cardiff leg of the fixture a fresh look and feel with some exciting new developments planned for the day, we can’t wait to announce those in the coming weeks.”

    Jonathan Davies, Sports Officer at Swansea University Students’ Union, said: “We’re really looking forward to this year’s Varsity and it’s set to be a fantastic day. Our teams are in great shape, are looking good and are ready to face off against Cardiff for another huge day of student sport in Wales.”

    The 2023 tournament will take place in venues across the city, including Sport Wales and Cardiff Arms Park. Cardiff will be looking to retain the shield for another year, after reclaiming it in Swansea last year.

    One of the highlights of the day includes the Ladies and Men’s rugby fixtures, which will take place this year in Cardiff Arms Park. Cardiff University Ladies will be looking to keep the momentum up following last year’s winning performance at the Swansea.com Stadium, whilst the Swansea Men’s team will be looking to take home the cup for the second year in a row.

  4. 2021 Welsh Varsity Update

    With great regret, we announce that this year’s Welsh Varsity event will not take place, in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and guests.

    We understand that this news is disappointing; however, the landscape for sport during the Covid-19 pandemic is ever-changing and the universities will endeavour to organise and support sporting activities, on a sport-by-sport basis, when Welsh Government and National Governing Body guidance allows.

    We’re grateful to our student community for their continued support and look forward to delivering a memorable Welsh Varsity in 2022.



    Diweddariad Varsity Cymru 2021

    Mae’n ddrwg gennym orfod cyhoeddi na fydd digwyddiad Varsity Cymru yn cael ei gynnal eleni, er mwyn sicrhau diogelwch a lles ein myfyrwyr, ein staff a'n gwesteion.

    Deallwn fod y newyddion hyn yn siomedig; fodd bynnag, mae'r dirwedd ar gyfer chwaraeon yn ystod pandemig Covid-19 yn newid yn barhaus, ac felly bydd y prifysgolion yn ymdrechu i drefnu a chefnogi gweithgareddau chwaraeon, fesul camp, pan fydd canllawiau Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Corff Llywodraethu Cenedlaethol yn caniatáu hynny.

    Rydym yn ddiolchgar i'n cymuned myfyrwyr am eu cefnogaeth barhaus ac edrychwn ymlaen at ddarparu Varsity Cymru cofiadwy yn 2022.

  5. Important 2020 Welsh Varsity Update

    As you may have seen from the media, whilst public gatherings have not been officially suspended, the advice from UK Government is that in order to best protect the wellbeing of the population, we should all now avoid non-essential social contact and unnecessary travel. Additionally, it has been confirmed that major events requiring the assistance of the emergency services will not be supported in the near future.

    As a result, and with a heavy heart we have taken the decision to cancel the Welsh Varsity event due to take place in Swansea in April. We feel this decision is in the best interests of our students, staff and guests.

    All ticket purchasers will receive a refund automatically, you don’t need to do anything. Whilst we will do this as quickly as possible, please allow three weeks for the payment to arrive back into your bank account.

    If after this time you have not received your refund, please contact us at:

    Cardiff ticket holders: SUFinance@cardiff.ac.uk
    Swansea ticket holders: events@swansea-union.co.uk

    Unfortunately, we are unable to reschedule the Welsh Varsity this year but rest assured the event will return in 2021.



    Diweddariad Pwysig Varisty Cymru 2020

    Efallai eich bod chi wedi gweld ar y cyfryngau, er nad yw digwyddiadau cyhoeddus wedi cael eu gwahardd yn swyddogol, i amddiffyn lles y boblogaeth, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cynghori y dylem osgoi teithio diangen a chyswllt cymdeithasol sydd ddim yn hanfodol. Yn ogystal â hyn, cadarnhawyd na fydd digwyddiadau mawr a fydd angen cymorth y gwasanaethau brys yn cael eu cefnogi yn y dyfodol agos.

    O ganlyniad, a gyda chalon drom rydyn ni wedi gwneud y penderfyniad i ganslo digwyddiad Varsity Cymru yn Abertawe ym mis Ebrill. Rydyn ni’n teimlo bod y penderfyniad hwn o fudd ein myfyrwyr, staff a gwesteion.

    Bydd pawb a brynodd docyn yn derbyn ad-daliad yn awtomatig, does dim angen i chi wneud unrhyw beth. Er y byddwn yn gwneud hyn cyn gynted â phosibl, gadewch 3 wythnos i’r taliad gael ei roi yn ôl yn eich cyfrif banc.

    Os nad ydych chi wedi derbyn ad-daliad, wedi’r cyfnod hwn, cysylltwch â ni ar:
