Intervarsity Sport

Represent the University of Melbourne in sporting competitions across Australia and overseas.

Australia’s first intervarsity sporting contests—a cricket match and a boat race between the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney—were held in Melbourne in 1870.

Each year we celebrate intervarsity sport by staging more than 70 events across 30‑plus sports, held regionally, interstate and internationally
