The University Match (hockey) is generally held to refer to the annual field hockey fixture between Cambridge University and Oxford University. The Men's fixture was first contested in 1890 and the Women's in 1898.
Both Men & Women have played 124 times.
In 2002, both fixtures were played on the same date for the first time.
The contest has taken place at Southgate Hockey Club since 2003, prior to which the game took place at a variety of venues across the UK.
The annual contest between the University's second, third & fourth teams takes place in February, alternating venue between Oxford's Iffley Road Pitch and Cambridge's recently re-laid Wilberforce Road Pitch.[1]
The 2024 Men's fixture was won 1-0 by Oxford.
The 2024 Women's fixture was won 4-0 by Cambridge.
The 2025 fixture is to take place at Southgate Hockey Club in early March (date tbc.).
The match is currently sponsored by JMAN Group, a leading management consultancy.
