Convert Cubic yards to Cubic metres
1 cubic yard is 0.76 m³. One cubic yard is exactly 0.764554857984 cubic metres.
One cubic yard is 0.76455486 cubic metres. To convert cubic yards to cubic metres, multiply by 0.76455486; to go the other way, divide by 0.76455486 or multiply by 1.3079506. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 130. Twenty-seven cubic feet, or 764.55 litres.

What is a cubic yard?
Twenty-seven cubic feet, or 764.55 litres. Concrete, topsoil and aggregate are all ordered by it in the US, and it is the unit a truck is measured in.
What is a cubic metre?
Exactly a thousand litres, by the definition of the litre. The SI unit of volume, and how the rest of the world orders concrete.
How many cubic metres are in a cubic yard?
One cubic yard is 0.76455486 cubic metres. Going the other way, one cubic metre is 1.3079506 cubic yards. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a cubic yard.
