There are 91.44 centimeters in 1 yard. This is an exact conversion based on the defined length of a yard in meters.
Use this simple formula:
centimeters = yards × 91.44

Convert the parts, then add them:
Example: 1 yard 6 inches
= 91.44 + (6 × 2.54)
= 91.44 + 15.24
= 106.68 cm
Use the reverse formula:
yards = centimeters ÷ 91.44
