College Varsity is an annual inter-collegiate sporting event between colleges from the University of York and Durham University. Each University has qualification systems to decide which college represents each University in each sport.[1] The host has alternated between the two universities, except for 2020 to 2022 when the University of York hosted it back to back following the event's cancellation in 2021.[2]

The inaugural event took place at the University of York in 2014,[3][4] as a replacement to the defunct White Rose Varsity Tournament between the University of York and the University of Hull.[5]

As of May 2026, the tournament has taken place twelve times, with both universities winning six times each and the longest run of wins being three from the University of York between 2020 and 2024, including their first away win in 2024. The tournament was cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[2]
