Home and Away Invitational League explained

The Home and Away Invitational League was an intercollegiate basketball and volleyball league in the Philippines formed in 2004. It was administered by a group led by Far Eastern University athletic heads Anton Montinola and Mark Molina.

The member teams were from different leagues around Metro Manila, namely Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila, University of the East, University of Santo Tomas, and Far Eastern University from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Lyceum of the Philippines University, and San Beda College from the NCAA.

The first batch of champions in each division were University of the East for men's basketball, Ateneo de Manila for women's basketball, Far Eastern University for men's volleyball, and Ateneo de Manila for women's volleyball.

Each team was allowed to have only up to 3 players who played in the Philippine Basketball League or Shakey's V-League to keep the competition at a collegiate level.

San Beda College did not field teams in the women's division.
