- The Varsity is a rowing regatta on the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal in Houten, Netherlands each Spring. The Varsity is the oldest and most prestigious student rowing regatta in the Netherlands. The Varsity is one of the few student-only rowing races and a fever-pitch rivalry exists between participants. Traditional elements are combined with new technology and rowing philosophy. While rowing crews defend the honour of the club on the water, spectators on the dike are traditionally brawling with equal fanaticism. The main event is the Oude Vier (Varsity Four, literally 'Old Four') which is rowed in a 4+ over a distance of 3 km. All other events row the standard 2 km distance in common race rowing classes such as the 4+, 4-, 2- and single scull. Some races are in traditional clinker-built boats. A great deal of the traditions in student rowing in the Netherlands evolved from the Varsity. (en)
- De Nationale Universiteitsroeiwedstrijden 'Varsity', of simpelweg de Varsity, is een roeiwedstrijd voor studenten in Nederland op het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal bij Houten. De wedstrijd wordt elk jaar georganiseerd door leden van de Utrechtsche Studenten Roeivereeniging "Triton", uit naam van de KNSRB. De term "Varsity" is een verbastering van het woord 'university'. De wedstrijd komt dan ook uit Engeland en is vanouds de wedstrijd tussen de roeiteams van de universiteiten. Zie ook The Boat Race. (nl)
