Rivalries run deep in the Ivy League. For instance, Princeton and [[Penn Quakers men's basketball|Penn]] are longstanding [[Penn – Princeton basketball rivalry|men's basketball rivals]];<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2002/02/12/sports/4317.shtml |title=The game: the tables are turned – Penn hoops travel to Jadwin tonight for premier rivalry of Ivy League basketball |newspaper=The Daily Princetonian |date=February 1, 2002|access-date=January 30, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011141406/http://dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2002/02/12/sports/4317.shtml |archive-date=October 11, 2007 }}</ref> "Puck Frinceton" T-shirts are worn by Quaker fans at games.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2002/02/12/sports/4318.shtml |title=The rivalry?

Penn has won 21 outright, Princeton 19 outright. Princeton has been a co-champion 7 times, sharing 4 of those titles with Penn (these 4 seasons represent the only times Penn has been co-champion).

Harvard won its first title of either variety in 2011, losing a dramatic play-off game to Princeton for the NCAA tournament bid, then rebounded to win outright championships in [[2011–12 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team|2012]], [[2012–13 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team|2013]], and [[2013–14 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team|2014]]. Harvard also won the 2013 Great Alaska Shootout, defeating TCU to become the only Ivy League school to win the now-defunct tournament.

Rivalries exist between other Ivy league teams in other sports, including [[Cornell-Harvard hockey rivalry|Cornell and Harvard in hockey]], Harvard and Princeton in swimming, and Harvard and Penn in football (Penn and Harvard have won 28 Ivy League Football Championships since 1982, Penn-16; Harvard-12). During that time Penn has had 8 undefeated Ivy League Football Championships and Harvard has had 6 undefeated Ivy League Football Championships.<ref>[http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/ivy-champs.asp?intSID=3 Ivy League Football] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102231135/http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/ivy-champs.asp?intSID=3 |date=January 2, 2010 }}</ref> In [[field lacrosse|men's lacrosse]], [[Cornell Big Red men's lacrosse|Cornell]] and [[Princeton Tigers men's lacrosse|Princeton]] are [[Cornell–Princeton lacrosse rivalry|perennial rivals]], and they are two of three Ivy League teams to have won the NCAA tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/history/lacrosse-men/d1|title=Men's Lacrosse Championship History|website=www.ncaa.com|language=en|access-date=November 29, 2019|archive-date=May 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190506002958/https://www.ncaa.com/history/lacrosse-men/d1|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2009, the Big Red and Tigers met for their 70th game in the [[2009 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship|NCAA tournament]].<ref>[http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20090516/SPORTS03/905160373/1128/New+wrinkle+to+Cornell-Princeton+lacrosse+rivalry New wrinkle in the Cornell Princeton lacrosse rivalry]{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, ''[[The Ithaca Journal]]'', May 16, 2009.</ref> No team other than Harvard or Princeton has won the men's swimming conference title outright since 1972, although Yale, Columbia, and Cornell have shared the title with Harvard and Princeton during this time. Similarly, no program other than Princeton and Harvard has won the women's swimming championship since Brown's 1999 title. Princeton or Cornell has won every indoor and outdoor track and field championship, both men's and women's, every year since 2002–03, with one exception (Columbia women won the indoor championship in 2012). Harvard and Yale are [[The Game (Harvard-Yale)|football]] and [[Harvard–Yale Regatta|crew]] rivals although the competition has become unbalanced; Harvard has won all but one of the last 15 football games and all but one of the last 13 crew races.

The Yale–Princeton series is the nation's second-longest by games played, surpassed only by [[The Rivalry (Lafayette–Lehigh)|"The Rivalry"]] between [[Lehigh Mountain Hawks football|Lehigh]] and [[Lafayette Leopards football|Lafayette]], which began later in 1884 but included two or three games in each of 17 early seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lehighsports.com/info/history/lehigh-lafayette.aspx|title=The Rivalry: Lehigh vs. Lafayette|work=LehigSports.com|access-date=April 25, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130421004247/http://www.lehighsports.com/info/history/lehigh-lafayette.aspx|archive-date=April 21, 2013}}</ref> For the first three decades of the Yale-Princeton rivalry, the two played their season-ending game at a neutral site, usually New York City, and with one exception (1890: Harvard), the winner of the game also won at least a share of the [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS|national championship]] that year, covering the period 1869 through 1903.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/16/sports/college-football-a-woeful-yale-loses-to-princeton.html|title=A Woeful Yale Loses To Princeton|last=Wallace|first=William N.|date=November 16, 1997|work=The New York Times|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=May 12, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512050849/http://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/16/sports/college-football-a-woeful-yale-loses-to-princeton.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://collegefootball.about.com/od/nationalchampions/a/champions-list.htm|title=College Football National Champions: The Complete List|last=Hyland|first=Tim|work=About.com|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=April 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425110419/http://collegefootball.about.com/od/nationalchampions/a/champions-list.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> This phenomenon of a finale contest at a neutral site for the national title created a social occasion for the society elite of the metropolitan area akin to a [[Super Bowl]] in the era prior to the establishment of the [[National Football League|NFL]] in 1920.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.openculture.com/2012/02/princeton_v_yale_1903_the_oldest_college_football_game_on_film.html|title=Princeton v.
