Strathclyde are founding members of the Glasgow Taxis Cup, Scotland's largest varsity competition. The event takes place annually in March, pitching University of Strathclyde student teams against city counterparts from the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University. Varsity involves over 700 student athletes and has expanded over the years to include 16 sports featured on one Wednesday afternoon of student sport, predominantly hosted at the Scotstoun Sports Campus in the west end of Glasgow.
In March 2025, Strathclyde retained their title of champions of the Glasgow Taxis Cup; edging out Glasgow University in one of the most closely contested years to date. The Glasgow Taxis Cup will return in March 2026!
In July 2017 the Glasgow Taxis Cup organising committee signed a long-term contract with Glasgow Taxis Ltd., worth over £50,000 towards the development and promotion of the nations premier Varsity competition. Keep an eye on the Glasgow Taxis Cup instagram for a timetable of events.
