Compton Cup History
The Karl Taylor Compton Cup started in 1933 as a gift of the student body of MIT to the winner of the varsity heavyweight crews of Princeton, Harvard and MIT, although MIT has not competed since 2016. The Crimson lead the all-time series with 67 wins, the Tigers have 18 and MIT one. After winning the Compton Cup in 2024 and 2023 before falling to Harvard in 2025, Princeton will aim to reclaim it.
