The North Carolina A&T–UNC Greensboro rivalry (also known as...) is an ongoing series of athletic competitions between crosstown rivals North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and University of North Carolina at Greensboro, both of which are located in Greensboro, North Carolina. The intensity of the rivalry is driven by the proximity of the two schools, as both are only 2.3 miles apart, both schools compete in the NCAA Division I and that both schools were established in 1891. This rivalry is mainly driven by Basketball and baseball.

Basketball
The most prominent sport in the rivalry is basketball. The two teams have been competing against each other since 1990. The series between the two schools began with North Carolina A&T winning 91-75. Since then, the annual meeting between the two teams had shifted between Corbett Sports Center, the home court of the Aggies, and the Greensboro Coliseum. ---

North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T's respective campuses. Under the leadership of coach Lonnie P. Byarm, the Aggies began a 4-game winning streak that lasted from 1925–28. The 1930s saw a balance of power in the series as the Eagles, led by head coaches Bryd D. Crudup (1929–31) and Leo Townsend (1932–35), would even out the series at 4 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie, by the end of the 1933 season.

A fight during the 1950s compelled the game to be moved to Wallace Wade Stadium on the campus of Duke University. It was at Wallace Wade, that a man drove his car onto the field during the game and parked at the 50-yard line.

--- Due to scheduling, North Carolina A&T and UNC Greensboro will not meet during the 2014-2015 season. However, the two universities reached a verbal agreement to play a two-game, home-and-home series in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons; in which the Spartans will travel to A&T’s Corbett Sports Center in 2015-16, and the Aggies will play UNCG in the Greensboro Coliseum in 2016-17.
