The '''Cornell Big Red''' is the informal name of the sports and other competitive teams that represent [[Cornell University]] in [[Ithaca, New York]]. The university sponsors 37 varsity sports, and several [[intramural sports|intramural]] and club teams. Cornell participates in [[NCAA Division I]] as part of the [[Ivy League]]. 

The [[Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey|men's]] and [[Cornell Big Red women's ice hockey|women's]] ice hockey teams compete in the [[ECAC Hockey League]]. Additionally, teams compete in the [[National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association]], the Collegiate Sprint Football League, the [[Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges]] (EARC), the [[Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges]] (EAWRC), the [[Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association]], and the [[Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association]] (EIWA).

==History==
Cornell's teams did not have an official name until after 1905, when a recent graduate, [[Romeyn Berry]] '04, wrote lyrics for a new football song. The lyrics included the words "the big, red team," and the nickname stuck.<ref>[http://cornellbigred.com/Sports/general/2007/FAQ.asp?tab=bigred Cornell Athletics – Frequently Asked Questions]</ref>

Cornell does not have an official mascot; however, the [[Big Red Bear|bear]] has long been a symbol of Cornell Athletics. In 1915, a live bear named [[Touchdown (mascot)|Touchdown]] first appeared at football games to represent Cornell. The current version, which appears at many of Cornell's sporting events, is a brown bear costume, which replaced the live bear in 1939, that is worn by an [[undergraduate|undergraduate student]]; it is referred to as the "Big Red Bear" or by its nickname, "Touchdown." "Red man," a person dressed in a tight red suit, has been seen running up and down the field of men's soccer games.

Cornell's colors, carnelian red and white, date back to the university's Inauguration Day on October 7, 1868.<ref>{{cite web|title=Traditions Cornell Big Red|publisher=Cornell University|url=http://cornellbigred.cstv.com/trads/corn-trads.html|access-date=September 5, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060407075351/http://cornellbigred.cstv.com/trads/corn-trads.html|archive-date=April 7, 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Many of Cornell's athletic directors have made substantial contributions to collegiate athletics in general, including [[Romeyn Berry]], [[James Lynah]], and [[Robert Kane (sports administrator)|Robert Kane]].

Big Red sports are covered in the two campus publications, ''[[The Cornell Daily Sun]]'' and ''[[The Cornell Review]]'', and various blogs.<ref>{{cite web |author=The Cornell Review |url=http://www.thecornellreview.com/articles/511b1b7f53ea67371c000001 |title=Parallels in Men's Soccer and Baseball — The Cornell Review |publisher=Thecornellreview.com |date=February 12, 2013 |access-date=August 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826120356/http://www.thecornellreview.com/articles/511b1b7f53ea67371c000001 |archive-date=August 26, 2014 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

=== Fight songs ===
{{main|Give My Regards to Davy}}
A number of [[fight song]]s are associated with Cornell sports teams, such as "The Big Red Team", "Fight for Cornell", and "New Cornell Fight Song",<ref name="Chronicle 1996">{{cite news|url=http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/96/5.23.96/calendar5-23.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010517005924/http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/96/5.23.96/calendar5-23.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 17, 2001|title=Cornell Chronicle Calendar May 23 – June 6, 1996|year=1996|newspaper=Cornell Chronicle|access-date=October 30, 2009}}</ref> but the one with the longest use and tradition is "Give My Regards to Davy", a song written by three Cornellians in 1904. The song is sung to the tune of [[George M. Cohan]]'s "[[Give My Regards to Broadway]]".

The Cornell Men's and Women's Track and Field Teams compete in [[Barton Hall]], a converted military hangar, for indoor track, and the Robert J. Kane sports complex for outdoor track. There are also facilities about 2 miles east of campus that has multiple uses, but it is mainly used by the Cornell men's soccer team for practice. Other campus facilities include a [[Robert Trent Jones]] (a Cornell alumnus) designed [[Robert Trent Jones Golf Course|golf course]], baseball's [[Hoy Field (Cornell)|Hoy Field]], the Niemand•Robison Softball Field, the Oxley Equestrian Center, and numerous fields and gymnasiums. Some of the athletic playing fields along Tower Road are known as the "Alumni Fields" because the Cornell Alumni Association funded the grading and development of these fields in exchange for a promise that they would remain in perpetuity. A subsequent land swap resulted in giving the Agriculture College building sites at the east end of the fields in exchange for the site of what became Schoellkopf Field and Hoy Field.<ref>[http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3528/28/013_13.pdf Cornell Alumni News 1910-12-21 p. 146] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090320102407/http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3528/28/013_13.pdf |date=March 20, 2009 }}</ref> The Alumni Fields became the site of an underground [[Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education|Synchrotron Laboratory]].<ref>[http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/public/outreach/Tours/Revised%20Web%20Page/htftour.html Retrieved 2007-09-09.]</ref>

Since the 1970s, several of the fields were used as sites for new biology buildings and were replaced by new fields along Jessup Road. Today, facilities are spread around campus with tennis courts and basketball courts located near a number of dormitories. In addition, the athletics department operates Helen Newman Hall (formerly the women's athletics building) and Noyes Center as remote fitness facilities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fitness.cornell.edu/|title=Cornell Fitness Centers |publisher=Cornell University|access-date=December 16, 2010}}</ref>

The men's and women's crew programs are housed in the John Collyer Class of 1917 Boathouse and Doris B. Robison Boathouse on Cayuga Inlet. Both boathouses underwent an $8 million renovation in 2011.<ref name="boathouses">{{cite web |title=John L. Collyer, Class of 1917, Boathouse and Doris B.

Following tradition, when Harvard plays the men's ice hockey team at Cornell's [[Lynah Rink]], some Big Red fans throw fish on the ice.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.elynah.com/?faq&id=4 | title = Why do we throw fish at Harvard? |publisher=eLynah |access-date = May 23, 2006}}</ref> A historic rivalry with [[Boston University Terriers men's ice hockey|Boston University]], dating back to when Cornell and Boston University played in [[ECAC Hockey]] before the creation of [[Hockey East]], is maintained by biennial games at [[Madison Square Garden]] in [[Manhattan]], dubbed "Red Hot Hockey," on Thanksgiving weekend.

Cornell and the [[Penn Quakers football|University of Pennsylvania]] are long-time rivals in football, having played each other in 130 games since their first meeting in 1893, representing one of the most-played rivalries in [[college football]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=7 of the most-played college football rivalries of all time {{!}} NCAA.com |url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2017-09-17/7-most-played-college-football-rivalries-all-time |access-date=2025-04-28 |website=NCAA.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-09 |title=Football Wins Wild One, Makes History in 67-49 Victory at Cornell |url=https://pennathletics.com/news/2024/11/9/football-wins-wild-one-makes-history-in-67-49-victory-at-cornell.aspx |access-date=2025-04-28 |website=University of Pennsylvania Athletics |language=en}}</ref> Cornell's football series against both Pennsylvania and [[Dartmouth Big Green football|Dartmouth]] are tied for second longest uninterrupted college football match-ups in history, both dating back to 1919.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/stories/091404act.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014230658/http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/stories/091404act.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 14, 2007 |title=Cornell faces familiar foe in 2004 opener |publisher=CSTV of CBS sports media |access-date=June 15, 2006}}</ref> Cornell and Penn play for the Trustees Cup. They are only surpassed by the [[The Rivalry (Lafayette–Lehigh)|Lehigh-Lafayette series]], which is uninterrupted since 1897.

In [[polo]], the men's and women's teams maintain rivalries with the [[University of Virginia]] and the [[University of Connecticut]].

For [[Cornell Big Red men's lacrosse|men's lacrosse]], Cornell and [[Cornell–Princeton lacrosse rivalry|Princeton University]] have historically been the perennial favorites in the Ivy League and the Princeton game is usually the most anticipated Ivy-game. Fellow upstate schools [[Syracuse University]] and [[Hobart and William Smith Colleges|Hobart]] are also considered Cornell's lacrosse rivals.

In women's [[Equestrianism|equestrian]], [[Skidmore College]] is an ongoing rival.
