Victor ludorum (or victrix ludorum) is Latin for "the winner of the games". It is usually a trophy presented to the most successful team, club, or competitor at a sports event. It is common at rowing regattas and was traditional at some British state and public school sports days. It is usually presented to the athlete/competitor who has won the most events or who has accumulated the most points through competing in many events.[1][2]
Female competitors usually compete for the victrix ludorum.
The practice of awarding a trophy to the victor (victrix) ludorum was still followed, as of 2018, in schools and colleges established by descendants of British settlers in South Africa.[citation needed]
