The Stan Calvert Cup, formally known as the Stan Calvert Memorial Cup, sometimes referred to as the Stan Calvert sports day, is an annual contest that takes place between Newcastle University and Northumbria University formerly in December, now in February.

The competition does not take place in a single sporting event but rather over 40 teams compete against each other in 22 different sports, the winning university is determined by whose team won the most events. The competition has taken place every year since its formation in 1994.

Since 1994 Newcastle has won the cup 9 times and Northumbria has won 5 times. There have also been 2 draws. The biggest winning margin occurred in 2004 during Mr P O'Leary's term as AU Officer (now called AU President). Newcastle had won the cup before the final Rugby games at Gateshead International Stadium kicked-off.
