The Carlyle Cup is the championship trophy in the UNC-Duke rivalry, developed by Art Chansky (author of "Blue Blood: Duke-Carolina: Inside the Most Storied Rivalry in College Hoops"). It is given each year to the school that has the most wins in a variety of sports over the other school. The tournament got its name from its sponsor Carlyle & Co. Tipoff of UNC-Duke game The UNC-Duke rivalry, sometimes referred to as The Battle of Tobacco Road or The Battle of the Blues, is a fierce rivalry, particularly in mens college basketball, between Duke University and the University of North Carolina athletic teams. ...

Points Format

Duke and North Carolina compete in 23 sports for a total of 26 points. Two points are awarded for the season series winner in football, men's basketball, and women's basketball. The other 20 sports are worth 1 point. There is no tiebreaker format except that if Duke and UNC tie in the competition, 13-13, the Carlyle Cup is retained by the school that last won it.


Points for each sport are awarded "winner take all" on which school wins more head-to-head meetings or has a higher ACC finish. If all head-to-head meetings are split, each school gets one-half of the designated point total. Post-season (ACC, NCAA Tournament) is included in head-to-head meetings.
