The Ram–Crusader Cup is the name of the trophy awarded to the winner of the annual football game between the Fordham Rams and the Holy Cross Crusaders.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Both schools are members of the Patriot League.
The Ram–Crusader Cup has been contested since 1951, when the cup was dedicated to the memory of Major Frank W. Cavanaugh.[11] The “Iron Major” spent three seasons as the head coach at Holy Cross (1903–1905, 19–10–2) and six seasons as the head coach at Fordham (1927–1932, 34–14–4).[12] Major Cavanaugh died in August, 1933.
Fordham has won the past four games between the two squads, but Holy Cross leads the Ram–Crusader Cup series, 16–14. Since the all-time series began in 1902, the Crusaders lead 27–24–2.
