Roses weekend 3rd- 5th May 2019

Over the early May Bank holiday weekend, ‘Roses’ the largest inter-university sporting tournament in Europe takes place.  


We are host University again this year and expect to accommodate 50 sports with 140 fixtures over 3 days.

Roses is not only about sporting prowess on show, it captivates all residents of York, from the local community right through to University staff. It's a university-wide event with thousands of students filling the sidelines to support the White Rose. 

The annual sports tournament sees the University of York and Lancaster University go head to head to claim the Carter-James Trophy 
The tournament is into its 54th year and includes fixtures that range from rugby union and football to underwater hockey and e-Sports

The event supports two Roses charities, Student Minds and Beat. Student Minds empowers students and members of the university community to look after their own mental health, support others and create change. Beat is the UK's leading charity supporting anyone affected by eating disorders or other difficulties with food, weight and shape.
