==History==
In 1924, seeing the need to organize collegiate sports and set general athletic policies, Dr. Regino Ylanan (the University of the Philippines Physical Education Director) met with representatives of [[Ateneo de Manila University|Ateneo de Manila]], [[De La Salle University|De La Salle College]], [[San Beda University|San Beda College]], [[National University (Philippines)|National University]], [[University of Manila]], [[University of Santo Tomas]], and [[Far Eastern University Institute of Accounts, Business, and Finance|Institute of Accounts]] (now [[Far Eastern University]]) to discuss possibilities of forming an athletic organization, which eventually became the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines)|National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/ncaa/sports/basketball/825163/a-look-back-at-ncaa-s-97-years-of-being-a-home-to-legends-icons-of-philippines-sports/story/|title=A look back at NCAA's 97 years of being home to legends, icons of Philippines sports|website=GMA|date=March 15, 2022|access-date=March 15, 2022|archive-date=November 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221112022304/https://www.gmanetwork.com/ncaa/sports/basketball/825163/a-look-back-at-ncaa-s-97-years-of-being-a-home-to-legends-icons-of-philippines-sports/story/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/ncaa/history-100-years/|title=NCAA turns 100: The history of the Philippines' oldest collegiate sports league|website=Rappler|date=September 14, 2024|access-date=September 14, 2024}}</ref>

In 1930, the [[University of the Philippines]] sponsored an experimental meet of the "Big 3" of the league (NU, UP, UST) on basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, swimming, athletics, boxing, and tennis.

The following year (1931), the NCAA Board of Directors divided the meet into three divisions to put competition on a fairer basis and to stimulate athletics among a greater number.

In March 1932, NU, UP, and UST formally seceded from the NCAA. Led by UP's Candido C. Bartolome, NU's Leon Tirol and UST's Fr. Silvestre Sancho, OP, the move was made to put competitions on equal footing, to increase amateur athletic competitions and to separate the universities from the college members of the league. On April 6, the "Big 3 League" was born. On August 14, the "Big 3" Association was inaugurated with a meet that starts with basketball. Other events were baseball, football, volleyball, relays, athletics, swimming and tennis.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Almo |first1=Alder |title=From fraternity to glamour league |url=https://varsitarian.net/sports/sports/20090409/from_fraternity_to_glamour_league |access-date=8 June 2019 |publisher=The Varsitarian |date=April 9, 2009}}</ref>

In 1935, UP did not participate in the "Big 3 League" because of mass intramurals at the state university. NU and UST held the meet with FEU (formerly Institute of Accounts) taking UP's place.

On September 27, 1938, the University of the Philippines Alumni Association and the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF), then the highest sports body in the country, encouraged the original "Big 3 League" and FEU to form a permanent sports association, thus the University Athletic Association of the Philippines was established. Events included were basketball, baseball, football, women's volleyball, swimming and athletics. UP bagged three titles (baseball, volleyball, athletics). UST topped in football and swimming and FEU triumphed in basketball.<ref name=uaapevo>{{cite web|last1=Jerusalem|first1=Dan|title=The Evolution of the UAAP|url=http://thelasallian.com/2016/10/08/the-evolution-of-the-uaap/|website=The LaSallian|date=October 8, 2016|publisher=De La Salle University|access-date=March 1, 2017}}</ref>

In 1941, the outbreak of World War II hindered the staging of the 1941–42 UAAP with UST failing to complete its term. The UAAP competition was not held from 1942 to 1946 due to the Japanese occupation of the country which resulted in the closure of educational institutions. The UAAP competition resumed in 1947.
 
In 1952, [[University of the East]], [[Adamson University]], [[Manila Central University]], and [[University of Manila]] were granted two-year probationary membership to the UAAP. After the two-year probationary period, UE and MCU were accepted as regular members in 1954. MCU remained until its pull-out in 1962. The other two universities (Adamson and UM) were dropped from the UAAP due to their inability to comply with league requirements.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mayo |first1=Patrick Leonard |title=UAAP Fun Facts |url=https://www.pressreader.com/ |access-date=8 June 2019 |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=September 16, 2018}}</ref> 

In 1970, [[Adamson University]] reapplied for admission to the league with a two-year probationary period and in 1974, Adamson successfully hosted the 1974–75 athletic season, paving the way for its permanent membership into the league.

In 1978, the UAAP admitted [[Ateneo de Manila University]] into the league while [[De La Salle University]] joined in 1986.<ref name="timeline">{{Cite web|url=https://business.inquirer.net/277964/timeline-uaap-history|title=Timeline: UAAP history|work=Inquirer|date=August 31, 2019}}</ref>

In 2020, the [[UAAP Season 82|2019–20]] competition was initially intended to end in May that year. However, the competition abruptly ended early in April due to the outbreak of [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/391388/uaap-cancels-season-82-over-coronavirus|title=UAAP cancels Season 82 over coronavirus|website=Inquirer|date=April 7, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://cnnphilippines.com/sports/2020/4/7/uaap-cancels-season-82-covid-pandemic.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407165933/https://cnnphilippines.com/sports/2020/4/7/uaap-cancels-season-82-covid-pandemic.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 7, 2020|title=UAAP board cancels Season 82 due to COVID-19 pandemic|website=CNN Philippines|date=April 7, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/uaap/season-82-canceled-due-coronavirus-pandemic|title=UAAP cancels Season 82 amid extended community quarantine|website=Rappler|date=April 7, 2020}}</ref> Because of the ongoing pandemic, the planned [[UAAP Season 83|2020–21 tournament]] was cancelled, the first in peacetime.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/410689/uaap-cancels-season-83-over-health-and-safety-reasons|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 over 'health and safety' reasons|website=Inquirer|date=December 11, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/uaap/season-83-canceled/|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 for 'health and safety' reasons|website=Rappler|date=December 11, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2020/12/11/2063114/uaap-cancels-season-83|title=UAAP cancels Season 83|website=The Philippine Star|date=December 11, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/basketball/767685/uaap-cancels-season-83-in-consideration-of-health-and-safety-of-the-student-athletes/story/|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 in consideration of 'health and safety of the student-athletes'|website=GMA News|date=December 11, 2020}}</ref> The league resumed the tournament on March 26, 2022 with its [[UAAP Season 84|84th season]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnnphilippines.com/sports/2022/2/25/UAAP-Season-84-to-begin-March-26.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225080540/https://www.cnnphilippines.com/sports/2022/2/25/UAAP-Season-84-to-begin-March-26.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 25, 2022|title=UAAP Season 84 to begin March 26|website=CNN Philippines|date=February 25, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/basketball/823073/uaap-set-to-open-season-84-on-march-26/story/|title=UAAP set to open Season 84 on March 26|website=GMA News|date=February 25, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://philstarlife.com/news-and-views/848350-uaap-season-84-returns-march-26|title=UAAP Season 84 kicks off on March 26 after two-year hiatus due to COVID-19|website=The Philippine Star|date=February 25, 2022}}</ref>

==Logo==
[[File:Logo of University Athletic Association of the Philippines.svg|right|thumb|150px|The UAAP seal used from 1986 to 2021.]]
The previous UAAP logo features the university colors of the eight member-schools of the league in a circular formation. It also bears the year when the league was established, 1938, in the center.

The seal changes every season where the university colors of the season host is placed on the very top. Nonetheless, the arrangement of the colors never changes.

The colors of the National University (blue and gold), Far Eastern University (green and gold), University of Santo Tomas (gold and white), and the University of the Philippines (green and maroon), come first counter-clockwise. These are followed by the colors of the University of the East (red and white), Adamson University (navy blue and white), De La Salle University (green and white), and the Ateneo de Manila University (sky blue and white). The arrangement of the school colors is based from their admission in the UAAP (except for Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University's colors).

Prior to the start of [[UAAP Season 84]] in March 2022, the league unveiled its new logo on December 17, 2021. The new logo was inspired by the Philippine traditional native sport [[sipa]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/life/guide/uaap-unveils-new-logo-ahead-of-march-2022-season-launch-a2437-20211217|title=UAAP unveils new logo ahead of March 2022 season launch|website=SPIN.ph|date=December 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/uaap-unveils-sipa-inspired-logo-for-season-84/228017|title=UAAP unveils 'sipa' inspired logo for Season 84|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=December 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://philstarlife.com/news-and-views/572804-look-uaap-new-sipa-inspired-logo|title=LOOK: UAAP's new logo for season 84 is inspired by the sport 'sipa'|website=The Philippine Star|date=December 17, 2021}}</ref> Though the school colors arrangement was followed in reverse Season 84 (the season that the UAAP adopted the current logo), the arrangement of school colors still changes every season beginning with Season 85. The host school's colors is placed at the topmost "sipa" streak.

The [[UAAP Cheerdance Competition#UST–UP Shakes|cheerdance rivalry]] between the University of the Philippines and the [[University of Santo Tomas]] has been one of the most productive rivalries in any event in [[UAAP Cheerdance Competition|UAAP]] history.

The popularity of the rivalry between the two universities' cheerdance teams diminished in the late 2010s as a result of the rise of [[National University (Philippines)|National University]] and [[Adamson University]].<ref name="rivalries"/> It gained greater prominence when the two teams competed against each other in the UAAP men's basketball semifinals in [[UAAP Season 82 basketball tournaments|2019]] and [[UAAP Season 87 basketball tournaments|2024]].

{{main|La Salle–UST rivalry}}
Both were known for their numerous basketball championship matches in the 1990s with UST winning four straight titles from 1993 to 1996, the last three of which were at the expense of the Green Archers at the UAAP Finals. In 1997, La Salle eliminated UST in the semifinals to deny the Growling Tigers of a fifth consecutive championship title. In 1999, La Salle defeated the Growling Tigers to win the basketball crown and achieved their own 4-peat championship streak from 1998 to 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thelasallian.com/2012/11/21/an-unspoken-collegiate-rivalry-dlsu-vs-ust/|title=An unspoken collegiate rivalry: DLSU vs. UST|website=The LaSallian|date=November 21, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://thelasallian.com/2013/09/29/back-to-the-90s-la-salle-ust-face-off-in-finals/|title=Back to the 90s: La Salle, UST face off in finals|website=The LaSallian|date=September 29, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-men/five-uaap-teams-that-have-truly-built-dynasties-a2437-20200404-lfrm|title=Five UAAP teams that have truly built dynasties|website=SPIN.ph|date=April 4, 2020}}</ref> Their basketball rivalry diminished in latter years because of UST's decline.<ref name="rivalries"/>

It became a celebrated rivalry in women's volleyball, as the Lady Spikers and the Tigresses met three times in the championship of the [[Shakey's V-League]] tournament. UST won the first and La Salle winning the latter two. The Tigresses have won six championships while the Lady Spikers have three under their belt.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/manila-bulletin/mi_7968/is_2010_Feb_21/la-salle-ust-duel-volleyball/ai_n50161055/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711221629/http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/manila-bulletin/mi_7968/is_2010_Feb_21/la-salle-ust-duel-volleyball/ai_n50161055/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 11, 2012 |title=La Salle, UST duel for volleyball title |work=[[Manila Bulletin]] |date=February 21, 2010 |publisher=findarticles.com |access-date=July 18, 2011}}</ref>

The women's volleyball rivalry was carried over to the UAAP. The DLSU Lady Spikers and the UST Tigresses met in the UAAP Finals for two consecutive seasons – Season 72 (won by UST) and Season 73 (won by La Salle). While UST struggled in the tournament during the mid-2010s, both schools met in the semifinals in Seasons 79 and since Season 85, where La Salle won in Seasons 79, 85 and 87, and UST won in Seasons 81 and 86. Notably, in Season 81, UST ended La Salle's decade-long streak of finals appearances (running from 2009 to 2018). It was the longest in the Final Four era of UAAP volleyball.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2019/05/05/1915257/ust-ousts-dlsu-barges-uaap-womens-volleyball-finals|title=UST ousts DLSU, barges into UAAP women's volleyball finals|website=The Philippine Star|date=May 5, 2019}}</ref>

The rivalry between [[Far Eastern University]] and [[University of the East]] started in the 1950s.

The rivalry was sparked after the Season 54 Basketball Finals in 1991 when La Salle's final game win was protested by FEU after a Green Archer was admitted into the playing court after being disqualified. The UAAP Board upheld the protest and ordered the replay. The protest was taken up by [[FIBA]], the highest international governing body in basketball. FIBA and the [[Basketball Association of the Philippines]] (BAP) supported La Salle's stand on the issue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://humblebola.com/the-rewind-the-origin-of-the-feu-dlsu-rivalry/|title=The Rewind: The Origin of the FEU-DLSU Rivalry|website=Humblebola|date=October 26, 2018|archive-date=October 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019034150/http://humblebola.com/the-rewind-the-origin-of-the-feu-dlsu-rivalry/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://takeaimsports.com/75/coach-pumaren-it-is-unfair-for-us/|title= Coach Franz reacts to Montinola statement|website=Take Aim Sports |date=July 22, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-men/strange-end-to-the-feu-vs-la-salle-finals-in-1991-a2437-20200403|title= Remember this strange end to the FEU vs La Salle finals in 1991?|website=SPIN.ph|date=April 3, 2020}}</ref> La Salle did not show up, claiming to have won legitimately, and FEU was awarded the trophy by default.

The rivalry between La Salle and FEU has produced several momentous scenes and drama in UAAP Basketball history. FEU and La Salle faced each other in the UAAP Finals in 2004 and 2005, with the Green Archers prevailing in 2004 and FEU winning the year afterwards. However, La Salle's 2004 championship was forfeited and handed to the Tamaraws instead after a controversial ineligibility issue, which also caused La Salle's suspension in 2006.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://thelasallian.com/2015/10/26/dissecting-rivalries-la-salle-versus-ateneo-ust-and-feu |title=Dissecting Rivalries La Salle versus Ateneo, UST, and FEU |website=The LaSallian |date=October 26, 2015}}</ref>

While both [[Adamson University]] and the University of the Philippines jointly figured multiple times in the [[UAAP Softball Championship|softball championship rounds]] since the tournament's Final Four playoffs format introduction in the UAAP in 1995, the rivalry gained mainstream attention when Adamson had the twice-to-beat advantage against UP in the [[UAAP Season 81 basketball tournaments|UAAP Season 81 men's basketball semifinals]]. During that season, UP and Adamson were the only remaining schools that had [[UAAP basketball championships|yet to compete in the men's basketball championship round in the UAAP]] in the Final Four era. After losing twice in the elimination rounds, UP defeated Adamson in two games, including the [[overtime (basketball)|overtime]] in the do-or-die match, to pose their first appearance in the UAAP Finals in any of the league's marquee events in the 21st century.

==Media==

===BBC and IBC era (1975–1989)===
The UAAP's first media was with the [[Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation]] (BBC) from 1975 to 1984. The [[Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation]] (IBC) also had a coinciding deal from 1979 to 1989.

===Silverstar era (1989–1999)===
In 1989, [[Radio Philippines Network]] (RPN) began their partnership with the UAAP. Two years later in 1991, Louis Kierulf agreed to a deal with the UAAP to put their entire basketball championship on television through Silverstar Communications. Silverstar would continue broadcasting the UAAP until 1999, during which the broadcasts moved to [[People's Television Network]] (PTV) in 1994.<ref>{{cite news |author=Catacutan, Dodo |date=September 23, 2016 |title=Meet the man who first put an entire UAAP basketball season on television |work=[[Sports Interactive Network Philippines]] |publisher=[[Summit Media|Summit Digital]] |url=http://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap/special-reports/meet-the-man-who-first-put-uaap-basketball-on-television-in-nine-days |access-date=September 25, 2016}}</ref>

===ABS-CBN era (2000–2020)===
{{Main|ABS-CBN coverage of the UAAP}}
In 2000, [[ABS-CBN]], through their [[ABS-CBN Sports|sports division]], became the UAAP's next media partner for the new millennium.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Amago |first1=Irwin |title=A UAAP History |url=http://www.theguidon.com/1112/main/2009/11/a-uaap-history/ |website=The Guidon |date=November 26, 2009 |access-date=23 May 2019}}</ref>

[[Studio 23]] first broadcast the games from 2000 to 2013 before getting replaced by its successor [[ABS-CBN Sports and Action|S+A]] for the rest of the deal. ABS-CBN also broadcast select games in the 2000s and again from 2010 to 2020. Other channels from the network that also broadcast games were [[Balls (TV channel)|Balls]] (2009–2015) and [[Liga (TV channel)|Liga]] (2018–2020).

The ABS-CBN deal ended in 2020 as a result of the [[shutdown of ABS-CBN broadcasting|network's shutdown]].

===Cignal era (2020–present)===
In search of a new media partner, the association entered a deal with [[Cignal TV]] to broadcast games through [[One Sports]]. The new deal also included the establishment of the [[UAAP Varsity Channel]], a dedicated channel for the association similar to the [[Philippine Basketball Association]]'s [[PBA Rush]], which is also owned by Cignal. The initial five-year deal was signed in 2020 during the cancelled [[UAAP Season 83|Season 83 (2020–21)]] and took into effect beginning with the following [[UAAP Season 84|Season 84 (2021–22)]]. In 2025, the two parties signed a five-year extension, meaning that the partnership is currently set to expire after Season 93 (2030–31).<ref>{{Cite web |title=UAAP and Cignal forge partnership through Season Season 93 |url=https://onesports.ph/uaap/article/33436/uaap-and-cignal-forge-partnership-through-season-season-93 |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=onesports.ph |language=en}}</ref>

[[TV5 (Philippine TV network)|TV5]] also broadcast a selection of games in Season 84, while [[Cignal TV|Pilipinas Live]] serves as the league's streaming partner. [[RPTV (TV channel)|RPTV]] also broadcast the Finals games in [[UAAP Season 87|Season 87]].
