Challenge Cup

The concept of the Challenge Cup is a fictional award that can be likened to a baton in a track and field relay race. The Challenge Cup started with the first college football game in 1869, in which Rutgers defeated Princeton. With the win, Rutgers became the defending champions of the Cup, and it has changed hands each time a team has defeated the current cup holders. In this regard, each game involving a current Challenge Cup holder is a potential championship game.

Below are listed the all-time statistics for Challenge Cup holders, including total number of titles won and the most recent year in which the Cup was won. Current Challenge Cup holder in bold face font. Non-Division I-A teams in gray. Special thanks to Jimbo for assistance in compiling data.
