The Alfred Cup, sponsored by the Power and Construction Group, Inc. and SERVU Credit Union, will be an annual competition between Alfred State and Alfred University athletic teams. The Alfred Cup will highlight the unique setting of two NCAA Division III members located in the same upstate New York town.
The sports eligible for The Alfred Cup competition are men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming & diving, baseball, men's and women's lacrosse, softball, and men's and women's track & field. For the football head-to-head match-ups, Alfred State and Alfred University will additionally compete for the 'Traffic Light Trophy', which will be up for grabs each fall moving forward. Beginning in the fall of 2025, Alfred State College will compete as an Empire 8 affiliate member in the sport of football.
The points will be tracked throughout the fall, winter, and springs seasons and after competition concludes, a winner will be determined based upon the total amount of points earned. A trophy, designed to mirror the stoplight that separates both institutions on Main Street, will be presented to the winning institution annually in May.
