Mens Lacrosse at Cambridge University

Message from the Presidents

Greetings young men, and welcome to the Cambridge University Men’s Lacrosse Club!

We are proud to be the oldest university lacrosse club in the UK and one of the oldest in the world, dating back to 1882. We also represent the university in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues and cups every Wednesday during term time. These matches are open to our members who are affiliated to the university. Our matches are every week from September to April, with a break for Christmas. We also train thrice times a week – you can find more details on the training page.

Our biggest event of the year is the Varsity match against Oxford University, which we have been playing since 1903, except for the World War years. Lacrosse is the oldest half blue sport at Cambridge, and we award up to 10 half blues each year to players who excel in the Varsity match.

We are always looking for new players of any ability to join our club. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you will find a place in our squad. Lacrosse is a fun, fast-paced, and exciting sport that will challenge you physically and mentally. You will also make lifelong friends and enjoy our social events throughout the year. If you are interested, please contact the Captains – their details are on the contacts page.

We also have a dedicated Alumni Association, The XVI Club, which was established in 2010. The club is named after an old society within the lacrosse club, and its purpose is to connect CULC alumni and support the current club. The XVI Club hosts a reception at the Varsity match, an annual dinner in May, and other events throughout the year. All Cambridge lacrosse alumni are welcome to join these events. To get in touch, please email Nick Evans, who will direct you to the XVI Club.
