To convert a measurement in yards to a measurement in centimeters, multiply the length by the following conversion ratio: 91.44 centimeters/yard.
Since one yard is equal to 91.44 centimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:
centimeters = yards × 91.44
The length in centimeters is equal to the length in yards multiplied by 91.44.
How Many Centimeters Are in a Yard?
There are 91.44 centimeters in a yard, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

Our inch fraction calculator can add yards and centimeters together, and it also automatically converts the results to US customary, imperial, and SI metric values.
Yards and centimeters are both units used to measure length. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Yard?
The yard is a unit of length measurement equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. The international yard is legally defined to be equal to exactly 0.9144 meters.[1]
The yard is a US customary and imperial unit of length. Yards can be abbreviated as yd; for example, 1 yard can be written as 1 yd.

What Is a Centimeter?
One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth (1/100) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One centimeter is equal to 0.393701 inches.
The centimeter, or centimetre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "centi" is the prefix for hundredths, or 10-2. Centimeters can be abbreviated as cm; for example, 1 centimeter can be written as 1 cm.
Metric rulers typically have 30 cm, which are represented by 30 large tick marks. To get a rough idea of the actual length of a centimeter, a standard number 2 pencil is just about 1 cm thick.

We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or a combination of both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs.
