Perhaps the most famous sporting event associated with Oxford, however, is the University Boat race, which has taken place every year for over 100 years, normally in March, between the [[University of Oxford]] (the "Dark Blues") and the [[University of Cambridge]] (the "Light Blues"). It is a rowing race for "eights" and takes place on the [[River Thames]] in [[London]]. The boat race is an occasion for students and alumni of each of the two famous universities to cheer on their team, and there have been many incidents during the race including several occasions when one of the boats has sunk. Oxford has won more races than Cambridge.

Women are currently not permitted to represent either university at rowing.
