The word "varsity" is descended from the word "university" (which in the 19th century was commonly shortened to "versity"). The term has many contemporary applications:
Varsity team, the principal athletic teams representing a university or school
Varsity match, a sports fixture played between traditional rival Universities, particularly Oxford and Cambridge.
The Varsity, a famous drive-in restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia that has been in operation since 1928 and is now a major tourist attraction.
Varsity Line, the railway line that formerly connected Oxford and Cambridge.
