The Boat Race results history - has Oxford or Cambridge won more races?

Oxford University is bidding for revenge at The Boat Race this year after bitter rivals Cambridge University completed a dominant clean sweep at the event 12 months ago.

NationalWorld looks at The Boat Race results and which university has the most historic wins in each event.

Cambridge clean sweep at The Boat Race 2023

Last year, Cambridge University completed a comeback mission to defeat Oxford University in the Men's Boat Race. The light blues were inspired by a moment of Jasper Parish coxing brilliance and powered home to claim victory by a margin of one and a third lengths.

Cambridge also triumphed in the Women's Boat Race with a sixth win on the bounce. That battle was less of a close affair with the light blues finishing with a margin of four and a half lengths over Oxford.

It proved a clean sweep for Cambridge University, with the boat club also winning both reserves events on the day. Goldie won by one length and Blondie by three lengths.
