How to Convert Cubic Yards to Cups

To convert a cubic yard measurement to a cup measurement, multiply the volume by the conversion ratio.

Since one cubic yard is equal to 3,231.584467 cups, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = cubic yards × 3,231.584467

The volume in cups is equal to the cubic yards multiplied by 3,231.584467.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic yards to cups using the formula above.

5 yd³ = (5 × 3,231.584467) = 16,157.922333 c
