Southern California Crosstown Cup

The Southern California Crosstown Cup is a year-long all-sports college competition between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans.

[1] While UCLA and USC have had a sports rivalry since the 1920s, the official yearly head-to-head all-sports competition began with the 2001–2002 season as the Lexus Gauntlet.

Currently, with 19 active sports in which UCLA and USC compete against each other, there are 190 points available in a season, with 100 needed to clinch an overall win.

Finally, the third tiebreaker is whichever school won the most conference championships in head-to-head sports.

After the two schools began competing in women's beach volleyball for the 2012–2013, this changed to 115 points available and 60 needed to win.
