The First Oxford v Cambridge Cricket Match — Lord's, 4 June 1827
Oxford University vs Cambridge University
1827-06-04
On 4 June 1827, on a wet single day at Lord's, Oxford and Cambridge played the first cricket match between the two universities — the oldest varsity sporting fixture in the world. The match arose from a personal challenge by Oxford's Charles Wordsworth, nephew of the poet, to his Cambridge counterpart Herbert Jenner. Oxford ran up 258 and bowled Cambridge out for 92, but rain prevented a finish and the match was drawn.
