Ivy League refers to a sports league composed of eight universities in the northeastern 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.

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.
