Mga tunggalian

Sa loob ng 69-taong kasaysyan ng liga, likas lamang na magkaroon ng tungggalian sa ngalan ng kapurian at dangal ng sariling pamantasan. Ang mga sumusunod ay ang mga natatanging rivalries:

Ateneo de Manila at De La Salle: Maituturing na pinakabantog na interschool sports rivalry sa bansa. Walang nakatitiyak kung paano o kailan ito nagsimula na nagbunga ng ilang haka-haka ukol rito.
FEU and UE ("The Battle of the East"): Both FEU and UE have dominated the basketball tournament and have the most UAAP basketball trophies between them in the league.
Ateneo de Manila at UP ("The Battle of Katipunan"): Tinutunton ang ugat ng rivalry na ito noong ang dalawang paaralan ito ay kapwa pa parehong nasa lungsod ng Maynila bago pa nagsimula ang NCAA. Ang mga manlalaro ng Ateno at UP ay nagtutungali sa ilang "friendly" na laro sa Intramuros at sa puntong ito natatag ng Ateneo ang unang cheering squad sa bansa.
