The All-Sports Trophies, which have been awarded since the 2013-14 year, are given to the men's and women's athletic programs that display the best overall performance in conference competition.
Points are awarded in each sport based on CCC Tournament championship and runner-up finishes followed by the regular season finish of the remaining teams. The CCC Champion receives 10 points and the CCC runner-up receives nine points.
The regular season finish of the remaining teams is used to determine the number of points awarded to each of those programs. The team with the highest regular season finish, excluding the tournament champion and runner-up, receives eight points with the next team down receiving seven points. The process continues until all teams have been awarded points. In the event of a tie, each tied team receives the average of the sum of the spots for which they are competing.
For sports that do not conduct a postseason tournament, the distribution of points is determined by either the final regular-season standings or the teams' finish at the CCC Championship event.
Starting in the 2017-18 academic year, the awarding procedure was amended such that any sport in which at least five core CCC members compete against each other in the same conference (even if that conference is not the CCC) would receive points in the All-Sports Trophy standings.
