Founded in 2004 by Adam Sommerfeld as a rugby union match, the game celebrates the rivalry between University College London and King's College London, which spans nearly two centuries.
Every Year a charity is supported at the game with previous sponsors including KPMG and Adamant Partners.
In 2014, a decision was made jointly by University College London Union and King's College London Students' Union to expand the varsity competition to include six sports in addition to the traditional rugby fixture.
Since 2014 the London Varsity series has flourished, becoming a staple feature in the calendar of both universities and now including over 30 sporting fixtures played across one week in March.
The inaugural winner of The Player of The Series Award was Septimus Theodoulou Knox from UCLU Men's Rugby.
