A yard is an imperial and US customary unit of length, while the metre is the base unit of length in the International System of Units. The conversion is exact: one international yard equals 0.9144 metre. That means you can convert any yard value to metres by multiplying by 0.9144.
Metres = Yards × 0.9144For example, 10 yards × 0.9144 = 9.144 metres. The calculator above does the same calculation instantly and lets you choose the number of displayed decimal places.
Yards = Metres ÷ 0.9144To reverse the conversion, divide metres by 0.9144. For example, 20 metres is approximately 21.8723 yards.
| Yards | Metres | Feet | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 yd | 0.9144 m | 3 ft | 91.44 cm |
| 2 yd | 1.8288 m | 6 ft | 182.88 cm |
| 5 yd | 4.5720 m | 15 ft | 457.20 cm |
| 10 yd | 9.1440 m | 30 ft | 914.40 cm |
| 20 yd | 18.2880 m | 60 ft | 1,828.80 cm |
| 25 yd | 22.8600 m | 75 ft | 2,286.00 cm |
| 50 yd | 45.7200 m | 150 ft | 4,572.00 cm |
| 100 yd | 91.4400 m | 300 ft | 9,144.00 cm |
The international yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 metre. Because the relationship is defined rather than measured approximately, the factor itself does not need rounding. Only the displayed result may be rounded for readability.
One yard equals exactly 3 feet, and one foot equals exactly 12 inches. Therefore one yard equals 36 inches. When converting construction or site measurements, it can be useful to convert the full measurement into decimal yards first, then convert to metres.
Multiply 12.5 by 0.9144. The result is 11.43 metres. If you need more precision, keep additional decimal places instead of rounding too early.
This conversion is useful for landscaping, fencing, sports fields, fabric, construction layouts, property dimensions and international specification work. If you are working with concrete volume rather than length, use a cubic conversion such as Cubic Yards to Cubic Metres instead of this linear-length converter.
You may also find the Feet to Metres, Metres to Feet, Square Yards to Square Metres and Cubic Yards to Cubic Metres pages useful when moving between imperial and metric measurements.

Quick Answers About Yard And Metre Length Conversion.
One international yard equals exactly 0.9144 metre.
Multiply the number of yards by 0.9144.
Divide the number of metres by 0.9144.
Ten yards equals 9.144 metres.
No. A yard is slightly shorter than a metre because 1 yard equals 0.9144 metre.
One yard equals exactly 3 feet.
No. This page converts linear length. Cubic yards and cubic metres are volume units and use a different conversion factor.
The 0 is only a placeholder. It disappears when you type, so entering 25 produces 25 rather than 025.
The result appears only after you press Convert Length so a zero or example-looking value is not mistaken for a completed conversion.
