The RPI–WPI football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the RPI Engineers of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the WPI Engineers of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.[1] The two teams have played regularly since their first meeting in 1894, making it one of the oldest rivalries in college football history.[2] The series was played uninterrupted from 1947 until 2020, when it was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the teams' 1979 meeting, the schools agreed to award a transit to the winning team; having become a tradition since 1980.[3] [4]
