The All Sports Championship is a collegiate intramural program at Cornell University culminating in the awarding of the All Sports Trophy. The competition is refereed over a series of sports competitions through Spring Term; each sports' competition ends in the awarding of a University Championship and points toward the All Sports Trophy. The prize was called the Class of 1897 All-Round Athletic Championship Trophy. Competition flowed over the generations, but has always been open to all. In 1930, the Chinese Students' Club took the trophy. Reaching a peak of competition in the 1950s, Beta Theta Pi took the Trophy twice in succession, joining only two other fraternities doing so since 1927, Alpha Chi Rho and Pi Kappa Alpha. Two other Cornell fraternities had won the Trophy three times, though not in succession, Phi Kappa Sigma and Pi Kappa Alpha. In the first 25 years of the competition, the Trophy moved between a high number of competitors. Alpha Chi Rho's beginnings of dynasty was interrupted by the Second World War.

The first long run of victories came after the war, as veterans returning from the European and Pacific theatres brought Beta Theta Pi the championship four years in a row. The Betamen returned to the Champion's dais in 1960, after a heated three-way competition in 1959 in which Phi Kappa Psi played the spoiler, sapping points and placing Sigma Phi Epsilon in the lead position. For the next 25 years, a sports oligarchy passed the Trophy between 15 Houses. Chi Psi dominated the competition at the beginning of the 1980s, a decade which dissolved into a three-way competition between Chi Psi, Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Psi. Following the Millennium, Sigma Alpha Epsilon returned with a run of five victories, 2000–2004, with a sixth victory in 2006 and a seventh in 2010. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was in the lead for the Trophy in 2011, but its recognition was rescinded by the University following the death of a brother; the standard of play, at times, has been high. Notably, the presence for veterans studying under the G.

I. Bill swelled the ranks of All Sports boxing competitors. Juniors and seniors were exempt from the University's Physical Education requirement during these years, boxing in the Old Armory soon overshadowed the physical education classes. Intramural boxing flourished as it had never done since. Tournaments in the Old Armory or Barton Hall would attract fifty of sixty competitors between 1946 and 1953. Twenty years after Cornell University opened its doors in 1868, the concept of intramural sports had entered university operations but was not developed extensively. No general facilities existed for Cornell students not competing within the intercollegiate program. Traditionally, Cornell's Department of Physical Education would become the advocate for intramurals and a private organization — the Cornell Athletic Association — would advance intercollegiate competition. By 1934, the two organizations with conflicting priorities would exhibit intermittent hostility toward one another. While some recreation was present at Cornell from its early years in the form of canoeing and gorge hiking, the advent of formal intramurals only began in 1905 when Charles Van Patten "Tar" Young arrived to serve as assistant coach of the varsity football team.

Inter-class games had been played over the previous generation. The Cornell fraternities established, for instance, their own baseball league in the 1890s. President Jacob Gould Schurman made individual physical fitness a priority after the turn of the century; the Cornell alumni responded with funds to create the fifty-acre Alumni Fields and lower for intramural play. By 1911, Schurman reported. "Tar" became a forceful advocate for individual-based athletics as a recreation, a break from scholarly studies. He pushed golf, swimming, skiing and horseshoes, his influence helped provide facilities for those sports at Cornell. Young, who graduated in 1899 as one of Cornell's greatest athletes, maintained a deep interest in intercollegiate and intramural athletics until his death in 1960, he mustered as varsity football's quarterback on the gridiron, pitched for the Diamondmen. He played major league baseball for one year as a pitcher with the Philadelphia Athletics. "Tar" Young was instrumental in raising money and creating Upper and Lower Alumni Fields as a permanent home for Cornell intramurals, the Balch Hall athletic fields for women, the ski slope named in his honor in the Caroline Hills eleven miles east of Ithaca.

He had much to do with the construction of the old intramural boathouse on the west shore of the Inlet. The Outing Club he founded has modern successors; the Mount Pleasant Lodge was built under his auspices but was not replaced after it fell into decay in the 1960s and burned down in 1968. For many years he maintained his office in the Old Armory and conducted roller skating sessions in the gymnasium. By 1929 and the issuing of the Carnegie Foundation's inquiry into college athletics, the Cornell intramural sports program was singled out as'exceptional' along with ten other university programs; the collapse of Cornell's intercollegiate athletics program in the 1930s led to campus-wide introspection regarding the heights fallen from since the early 1920s. Sensing opportunities were broader than the Cornell alumni-led discussion was offering, Cornell President Livingston Farrand requested that Professor Frederick G. Marcham draw up a plan for a rejuvenation of both the intercollegiate and intramural athletic system at Cornell.
