See also themembers page fora list of the members of each series-winning team.
Imperial, London have won the series on five occasions, with Magdalen, Oxford and Manchester having won four times each. In addition Trinity, Cambridge and Durham have won on three occasions.
Until the Reunited series in 2002 there was confusion about the exact years thateach team won their series. I hope that I have finally sortedthings out with the help of many, many fans of the show.In the cases that a series started late in one year and ended inthe following, as they do at the moment, I use the year in whichthe final was broadcast. For more discussion see theReunited page, and for the exact dates of the series see theResults page.
