History

In 1930, six of the eight Ivy League teams formed the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League. Harvard joined in 1934, while Brown, Army and Navy joined in 1948. When Army and Navy joined the Patriot League for the 1993 season, the Ivy League began sponsoring baseball.

The teams are split into two divisions; the Mid-Atlantic members are in the Lou Gehrig Division, and the New England members are in the Red Rolfe Division. Beginning in 2018, the divisions were dissolved, with the top two teams from the regular season meeting in the championship series. The team with the best regular season record is named the Ivy League champion. However, the winner of the championship series gains the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
