The Varsity Polo Match

The Varsity Polo Match is an annual polo match between the Oxford University Polo Club and the Cambridge University Polo Club, played between teams of four players. Historically it was known as the ''inter-University Challenge Cup'' or ''inter-Varsity polo match''.〔Sporting Notes. In: Nottingham Evening Post, Tuesday 27 June 1905〕〔The Times. 12 June 1965, ''Woolmers Park'' p.1〕 It is also known as the Oxford-Cambridge Polo Match or by a title that includes the name of its current sponsor (from 2010 to 2014, the Jack Wills Varsity Polo).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guardspoloclub.com/tournaments/jack-wills-varsity-polo )〕 Members of both teams are traditionally known as Blues, with Oxford in dark blue and Cambridge in light blue.
The match is a well-established and popular fixture in the British sporting calendar with up to 5000 spectators in single years and creates an interest which a game between teams of far more seasoned players often fail to do.〔The Inter-University Match. In: The Times. July 11, 1938, p.4.〕〔Oxford Victory. In: Horse and Hounds. 12 June 1970〕 It usually takes place at the beginning of June at Guards Polo Club. The Varsity Match was most recently contested in June 2015, and was won by Oxford by a margin of 14 - 2. As of 2015 Oxford has won the match 60 times and Cambridge 57 times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforduniversitypoloclub.com/index.php/archive )
==History==
Historically speaking, the Varsity Polo Match is the second oldest continuing polo match with the inter-regimental match proceeding it by only 6 years. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://britisharmypolo.org/tournament-events )〕 The first Varsity match was played in 1878. The event has been held annually with the exceptions of the two World Wars as well as 1894, 1900, 1960-61 and 1963. The match was originally played at Hurlingham Club, but moved to Woolmers Park as well as to Cowdray Park after World War II. From 1962 onwards, the venue for the match was decided annually, with the choice alternating with each university. Since 1994, the Varsity Match is played at Guards Polo Club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforduniversitypoloclub.com/index.php/archive )
The Match is played for a Challenge Cup presented by the Hurlingham Club in 1920.
