Welsh Varsity started out 24 years ago as a rugby match between Cardiff University students and Swansea University students. Today it’s so much more than that.
In recent years the match has been played at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and the Swansea.com Stadium in Swansea, with live coverage on S4C. Past student players have gone on to play for the Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Llanelli Scarlets and even internationally for Wales so expect a high standard on the field.
Not an avid sports fan? Welsh Varsity is a great day out even if you don’t know your shuttlecocks from your wickets. There’s an amazing atmosphere on the day as thousands of students cheer on different teams so don’t let a lack of sporting knowledge put you off.
