The Ivy League Fencing Championships (officially, the Ivy League Fencing Round-Robins) is an annual tournament to determine the Ivy League standings in men's and women's fencing. Unlike at the NCAA Fencing Championships, the two events are contested separately.

History

Then men's Ivy League Round-Robin has existed since 1956; the women's since 1982. Currently, six teams compete in the men's tournament, as neither Cornell nor Dartmouth sponsor NCAA men's fencing teams. Brown is the most recent addition to the tournament, first participating in 2006 (Brown had previously had a fencing team, but had not competed in the Ivy tournament). Cornell had previously participated, but its men's NCAA team was cut after the 1993 season. The women's competition features seven teams, with every Ivy League school with the exception of Dartmouth sponsoring a team.

Women's Results

1.^ After the 1983 season, Columbia began accepting women. All future results are noted as Columbia, though students from Barnard were able to compete on the Columbia team. This is the only Division I NCAA consortium team.
