Team Durham (formerly Durham University Athletic Union, DUAU) is a student-run organisation responsible for sport at Durham University. In contrast to most British universities it is a separate organisation with the status of a students' union, rather than a part of Durham Students' Union, the primary student representative body at Durham University.
Team Durham awards the Palatinate, an equivalent of the University Sporting Blue. Famous recipients of a Full Palatinate include cricketer Nasser Hussain, triple jumper Jonathan Edwards and rugby player Phil de Glanville.
The Athletic Union is responsible for the administration of the largest intramural sports programme in terms of percentage participation in the United Kingdom. The league sports administered are badminton, basketball, cricket (indoor and outdoor), football (11-a-side and 6-a-side), hockey, netball, rugby union, squash, table tennis, tennis and ultimate. One-off tournaments are also arranged in athletics, volleyball, sailing, swimming and water polo.
