Metro Conference

The Metro Conference, formerly known as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) from 1980 to 2026, is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with NCAA Division I. Its current 13 full members are located in five Northeastern states: Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York.

Members are all relatively small private institutions, a majority Catholic or formerly Catholic, with the only exceptions being two secular institutions: Rider University and Quinnipiac University.

The Metro currently sponsors 25 sports and has 17 associate member institutions.
