The Victory Bell is the traveling trophy given to the winner of the annual football game between the Duke University Blue Devils and the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. The game was worth two points in the now-defunct, yearlong Carlyle Cup between the two schools. History North Carolina and Duke first met in football in 1888, and the series has been renewed annually since 1922.
