The Bottle Match is a varsity match played between the Camborne School of Mines (CSM) of Exeter University and the Royal School of Mines (RSM) of Imperial College London. The first recorded match between the two sides took place on 16 December 1902. The Bottle Match started as a rugby union match, but as the schools' sporting interests diversified, other sports began to be played as part of the match. The winner of the Bottle trophy itself hinges entirely on the outcome of the rugby match. The 2013 winners were RSM.
