The First Army-Navy Game – Cadets and midshipmen played their first football game Nov. 29, 1890 on “The Plain” at West Point. Navy had been playing organized football since 1879 and defeated the newly established Army team, 24-0. The historic event would become one of the most celebrated traditions in American college sports: the Army-Navy football game. This was not just a mere football match; it was the birth of a rivalry steeped in pride, honor, and the spirit of friendly competition between the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point and the United States Naval Academy (USNA) at Annapolis. The Army-Navy game is more than just a sporting event; it is a celebration of American military service, a showcase of athletic prowess, and a testament to the enduring spirit of rivalry and respect. It’s not just about who wins or loses; it’s about tradition, honor, and the unbreakable bond between two esteemed military institutions.
