The Dartmouth–New Hampshire rivalry is an intrastate college sports rivalry between the Dartmouth Big Green and New Hampshire Wildcats.
Basketball
Dartmouth and New Hampshire field the only two Division I college basketball teams in the Granite State. The Big Green and the Wildcats have met 72 times since 1908, with Dartmouth leading the series 38–35. 22 of the 73 games have been decided by a single basket; 31 have been decided by two baskets or fewer.
The two teams have played at least once every season since 1971, with the longest gap between games occurring between 1934 and 1952. The longest winning streak for either team in the 108-year history of the series is eight (Dartmouth, 1986 to 1992). Over the last quarter-century, however, New Hampshire has dominated the series, winning 17 of 27 games.
The most recent game in the series was won by Dartmouth, 69–68, at Leede Arena on December 3, 2025.
