Old Ironsides is a three-way college football rivalry between Pennsylvania State University, The University of Pittsburgh, and West Virginia University. Although the trophy is the source of the rivalry's name, the Old Ironsides Trophy is long predated by the significance of the universities' collegiate football matchups. As a result of the reduced frequency of competitions between the schools and the disappearance of the Old Ironsides Trophy, the triangular rivalry is largely viewed in the scope of the individual head-to-head rivalries and not a unified competition between all three.
