The Albany–Stony Brook football rivalry recently being marketed as the Empire Clash is an American college football rivalry between the Albany Great Danes and the Stony Brook Seawolves. Both teams represent University centers of the State University of New York, and since 2013 have competed together as football-only members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).[1][2][3][4][5] The two teams have met 19 times on the football field, with Albany currently holding a 11–8 edge in the all-time series. Albany leads 8–7 since 1999, when both programs moved up to Division I.
Since 2013, when both programs joined CAA together, they have been meeting yearly in conference schedule. In their first CAA conference game against each other, in 2013, the rivalry game was coined "The Empire Clash". From 2015, the winner of the game is awarded The Golden Apple Trophy.
