The abbreviation vs. is short for 'versus' , a preposition meaning against, opposed to, in contrast; legal cases shorten the abbreviation to v.

Examples:

Liston vs. Ali (Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali boxing match) 1965

Venus Williams vs. Maria Sharapova (tennis match) 2009

Chandler v. the State of Florida (legal case) 2011

Often you will see the abbreviation vs or v without the period indicating that it's an abbreviation. This can be confusing but the meaning is the same.
