Note: There has been one dead heat, recorded in 1877
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the men's senior boat clubs of the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues")[1] and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").[1] The race was first held in 1829 on a 2+1⁄4-mile (3.6 km) stretch of the River Thames.[2] For the women's senior boat clubs race see "The Women's Boat Race".
As of 2015 the race takes place on the 4.2-mile (6.8 km) Championship Course, between Putney and Mortlake on the Thames in south-west London.[3] The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide.[4][5] Four unofficial boat races were held during the Second World War, both on the Thames and the Great Ouse in Ely. The crews were not recognised as full Blues and as such, the results of these races are not included in the official tally.
As of the 2024 race, Cambridge lead overall in the competition with 87 victories to Oxford's 81; the 1877 race was declared a "dead heat".[6][7] Cambridge have led Oxford in cumulative wins since 1930.[6]
The reserve crews of Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Clubs have also raced against one another since 1967. Oxford's boat Isis (named after The Isis, a section of the Thames which flows through Oxford) and Cambridge's boat Goldie (named after former Cambridge boat club president John Goldie) compete on The Championship Course, usually on the same day as the main Boat Race. As at 2021, Cambridge's reserve crew have the overall lead with 32 victories to Oxford's 24.[6]
