Llongyfarchiadau to all our talented student competitors who took part in the 2026 Welsh Varsity tournament, you should all be very proud of your performance and the hard work that led up to today!
More than 10,000 student spectators came to cheer as Team Cardiff battled Swansea on home turf for the second year in a row, for the coveted Varsity Shield and Rugby Cup.
Varsity is still one of the largest student sporting events in the UK and an unforgettable rite of passage for all our students, whether they’re competing or cheering from the stands.
This year’s tournament returned to the capital, seeing Cardiff take on the Swans on our home ground once again. As always, there was an incredible atmosphere and we’d like to say a big thank you to our Team Cardiff supporters who have rallied the teams since the tournament began on the 18th April. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. And a big congratulations and diolch to Swansea for your hard work and everyone who came to support from Abertawe.
Molly, your VP Sports and AU President, is thrilled with the achievements of Tim Caerdydd for winning the Shield AND Cup and to all our supporters that cheered them on!
“What a day! It was great to see Team Cardiff take over our city today. Big congratulations to all the athletes who competed and helped us ensure that the Shield and the Cup stay in the capital for another year, you’re all stars! A huge thank you to everyone who wore red, painted their faces and created supportive signs - your contribution was huge in the victory and the success of the day. Getting to lift the shield at the end of the day was a moment that will stay with me for years to come, thank you all again for your support and big congratulations, Up the 'Diff!”
Women’s Rugby captain, Gabriela Della-Savina is super proud of her teammates and their efforts this season:

Winning Varsity is a reflection of that collective effort and the commitment shown week in, week out. It’s a brilliant way to finish the season, and we’re really proud of what we’ve achieved together”

Llongyfarchiadau i’n holl fyfyrwyr talentog a gymerodd rhan yn nhwrnamaint Varsity Cymru 2026, dylech fod yn falch iawn o’ch perfformiad a’ch holl waith caled cyn y diwrnod mawr.
Daeth mwy na 10,000 o fyfyrwyr i gefnogi wrth i Dîm Caerdydd brwydro yn erbyn Abertawe ar eu tir cartref am yr ail flwyddyn yn olynnol am darian Varsity a’r cwpan Rygbi.
Varsity yw un o’r digwyddiadau chwaraeon myfyrwyr mwyaf yn y DU ac mae’n brofiad bythgofiadwy i’n holl fyfyrwyr, boed os ydynt yn cystadlu neu’n cefnogi o’r ochrau.
Gwnaeth twrnamaint eleni ddychwelyd i’r brifddinas, wrth i Gaerdydd herio’r Elyrch ar ein tir ni unwaith eto. Fel bob tro, roedd awyrgylch anhygoel, a hoffem ddweud diolch enfawr i holl gefnogwyr Tîm Caerdydd a fu allan yn dathlu ein timau ers i’r twrnamaint ddechrau ar y 18fed o Ebrill. Gobeithio gwnaethoch fwynhau cymaint â ni. A llongyfarchiadau mawr a diolch i Abertawe am eich gwaith caled ac i bawb a ddaeth i gefnogi o Abertawe.
Mae Molly eich IL Chwaraeon a Llywydd yr UA, yn falch iawn o gyflawniadau Tîm Caerdydd am ennill y darian A’R cwpan!
“Am ddiwrnod! Roedd hi’n wych gweld Tîm Caerdydd yn cymryd drosodd ein dinas heddiw. Llongyfarchiadau mawr i’r holl athletwyr a gystadlodd ac a helpodd ni i sicrhau bod y Darian a’r Cwpan yn aros yn y brifddinas am flwyddyn arall, rydych chi i gyd yn sêr! Diolch o galon i bawb a wisgodd goch, a beintiodd eu hwynebau ac a greodd arwyddion cefnogol - roedd eich cyfraniad yn enfawr i’r fuddugoliaeth a llwyddiant y diwrnod. Roedd cael codi’r darian ar ddiwedd y dydd yn foment a fydd yn aros gyda mi am flynyddoedd i ddod, diolch i chi gyd unwaith eto am eich cefnogaeth a llongyfarchiadau mawr, Up the 'Diff!”
Mae capten tîm rygbi’r menywod, Gabby Della-Savina, yn falch iawn o’i chyd-chwaraewyr a’u hymdrechion tymor yma:
“Mae pawb sy’n rhan o’r clwb wedi rhoi ymdrech anhygoel i mewn y tymor hwn, o chwaraewyr a’r hyfforddwyr i ffisiotherapyddion a’r pwyllgor ehangach. Mae ennill Varsity yn adlewyrchiad o’r ymdrech ar y cyd honno a’r ymrwymiad a ddangoswyd wythnos ar ôl wythnos. Mae’n ffordd wych o orffen y tymor, ac rydym yn falch iawn o’r hyn rydym wedi’i gyflawni gyda’n gilydd.”
Mae Varsity Cymru yn gyfle i’r gymuned fyfyrwyr ddod ynghyd a dathlu amrywiaeth chwaraeon myfyrwyr ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. O bêl-droed i ddringo, polo dŵr i ffrisbi, a triathlon i denis, twrnamaint Varsity Cymru yw uchafbwynt blwyddyn o waith caled a pharatoi gan ein holl athletwyr.
Mae 2026 wedi bod yn flwyddyn gref i Dîm Caerdydd, a gobeithiwn weld hyn yn parhau am flynyddoedd i ddod.
