Columbia–Cornell Football Rivalry
The Cornell–Columbia football rivalry is the American college football rivalry between the Cornell Big Red and Columbia Lions, the two Ivy League teams in New York State. In 2010, the game was named the Empire State Bowl, and the teams began competing for the Empire Cup. Since 2018, it has been the final game on each team's schedule.
