Playing for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy

A 170-pound silver trophy Air Force, Army and Navy play for in a three-way round robin every season.

Holder
Navy
All-time series
Air Force Air Force 21, Navy 18, Army 10, shared 5
First awarded
1972

Series records as of the end of the 2025 season.

  • The trophy weighs about 170 pounds. MOAA points out that this matches Army legend Glenn Davis's playing weight when he won the 1946 Heisman Trophy.
  • When all three academies finish 1-1, no one wins it outright. The prize is shared and the previous holder keeps it. That has happened five times: 1974, 1976, 1980, 1993 and 2021.
  • Navy's seven straight trophies from 2003 to 2009 are still the longest streak in the competition.
