American Ivy League University refers to the Ivy League, which is an alliance of seven universities and a college in the United States. They are all first-class universities in the United States, and they are also the university alliance that produces the most Rhodes scholars in the United States. Seven of the eight schools were established during the British colonial period. These eight institutions include Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and Cornell University.

The eight Ivy League universities in America are all private universities. Like public universities, they receive federal funding and private donations for academic research. Because American public universities enjoy huge grants from the federal government, private universities have lower financial expenditures and research funds than public universities.

The idea of an Ivy League school originated in the 1950s. The above universities had social and sports competitions as early as the end of 19 th century, and 1956 brewed the idea of an alliance school. When making rules for sports competitions, schools should further formulate rules for Ivy League schools, elect principals, sports directors and some administrative directors of alliance schools, and hold regular meetings to discuss enrollment, finance, funding, administration and other related issues among schools.

There were only four universities in the early Ivy League: Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton. The Roman numeral 4 is "IV", and the suffix Y becomes "IVY", which means Ivy in English, so it is also called an Ivy League school. Later, the alliance of these four universities expanded to eight and became a prestigious Ivy League school.
