How to Convert Cups to Cubic Yards

Calculators can be used to convert measurements from one unit to another

To convert a cup measurement to a cubic yard measurement, multiply the volume by the conversion ratio. One cup is equal to 0.000309 cubic yards, so use this simple formula to convert:

cubic yards = cups × 0.000309

The volume in cubic yards is equal to the cups multiplied by 0.000309.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 cups to cubic yards using the formula above.

5,000 c = (5,000 × 0.000309) = 1.547229 yd³

Cups and cubic yards are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Cups

The cup is a unit of volume equal to 16 tablespoons or 8 fluid ounces. The cup should not be confused with the metric cup or the teacup, which are different units of volume. One cup is equal to just under 236.6 milliliters, but in nutrition labelling, one cup is equal to 240 milliliters.^[1]

The cup is a US customary unit of volume. Cups can be abbreviated as c, and are also sometimes abbreviated as C. For example, 1 cup can be written as 1 c or 1 C.

Cubic Yards

The cubic yard is a unit of volume that is equal to the space consumed by a cube with each edge measuring one yard.

The cubic yard is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic yard is sometimes also referred to as a cubic yd. Cubic yards can be abbreviated as yd³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu yard, cu yd, or CY. For example, 1 cubic yard can be written as 1 yd³, 1 cu yard, 1 cu yd, or 1 CY.
