The Georgetown–UConn men's basketball rivalry is an American college basketball rivalry between the UConn Huskies men's basketball team of the University of Connecticut and Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team of Georgetown University.
The first game played between the two schools took place on December 22, 1958, in Storrs, Connecticut.

The two schools each won a record seven Big East tournaments during those years.
UConn moved to the new Big East Conference for the 2020-2021 season, renewing the rivalry within the Big East which, like the American Athletic Conference, claims the history and heritage of the original Big East as its own.
