Members of the teams are traditionally known as Blues, or Oxford specific as Dark Blue. The original conditions are:
No player eligible who has been a member of his University for more than four years, or who has not been in residence during the term in which the match takes place. Instituted in 1878. Played generally at Hurlingham, in June. (Modern Polo, 1896[2])
No player eligible who has been a member of his University for more than four years, or who has not been in residence during the term in which the match takes place. The Cup shall be held by the winning University in each year until May 1st in the succeeding year, when it shall be returned to The Hurlingham Club. Play – 6 periods. (The Polo Yearbook 1939[3])
Teams are selected from students of all colleges within the university. Women began participating in 1962, a notable development in the history of the event. An official rules change in 1963 followed, allowing mixed-gender teams which is still a rare opportunity amongst the Blues Sports of both universities. The first female captaincy was in 1966. However, only four out of 125 Varsity teams have been captained by a woman yet (1966, 1994, 2019, 2024).
In the following table, team members are listed from left to right in their respective positions (1 to 4) including their college affiliation, possible captaincy, and polo handicaps, which ranges from -2 to +10.
