LUCA is responsible for organising all competitions exclusive to university athletics clubs in London.

LUCA is a membership organisation open to clubs of higher education establishments in London.

LUCA won the England Athletics, London region award for 'Best Project' in 2016.

LUCA was established by a merger of the organising committees of LCAS and LCL in July, 2015 in London.

Starting in the 2018/19 season, a new trophy will be awarded to the team with the most points across men's and women's races.

This trophy will be named in honor of the late Mike Baggs, who was the league's longest serving secretary.
