The 2025 Varsity Rugby Matches in the Tulip Club
The 2025 Varsity Rugby Matches in the Tulip Club
This prestigious fixture dates back to 1872 for the men’s game and 1988 for the women’s, making it one of the longest-running sporting rivalries in the world. Representing either university in a Varsity Match earns players the esteemed title of a ‘Blue’, the highest sporting accolade within Cambridge and Oxford.
Since 2024, the matches have been held at StoneX Stadium, home of Saracens Rugby Club, one of England’s leading rugby teams. The event attracts a global audience of students, alumni, and rugby enthusiasts, both in the stadium and via livestreaming to over 50,000 viewers worldwide.
This package is being offered by Saracens for £224 per ticket, but for 2025, CamSocLon is hosting alumni, members and their guests in the Tulip Club at a heavily discounted rate, offering a premium matchday experience with:
- Luxury armchair-style padded seats on the halfway line
- VIP access 1 hour before the Women’s kick off and 1 hour after the Men’s final whistle
- Sparkling wine reception upon arrival
- Welcome bar serving light bite entrées
- Premium gourmet buffet, including a delicious ice cream cart

- Complimentary matchday programmes and tea & coffee included
- Reserved seating on private or shared tables
There may also be exclusive access to some of the world’s finest sporting memorabilia via our host for the day, Society Member, Nick Priestnall. Nigel Wray, former owner of Saracens, has curated The Priory Collection, one of the largest collections of sporting memorabilia globally. Some of these incredible pieces are displayed at StoneX Stadium, and ticket holders may receive exclusive access to selected items and potentially a special tour of the collection.
