The Delaware–William & Mary football rivalry between the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens and the William & Mary Tribe is a matchup between two public universities, the University of Delaware (UD) and the College of William & Mary (W&M), that are also members of both the Colonial Athletic Association and its legally separate football arm of CAA Football. Both schools have academic reputations that have labeled them as Public Ivies. Both schools are also colonial colleges, having been founded before the United States became independent in 1776; W&M was founded in 1693 and UD's predecessor school was founded in 1743.
The football series began in 1915 and has been played a total of 44 times as of 2022.
On November 27, 2023, it was announced that the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football program had accepted an invitation to move up to the FBS Subdivision and would join Conference USA prior to the 2025 football season. There are no future meetings scheduled.
