The Smithfield Commonwealth Clash is BACK! The Commonwealth Clash, which started in 2017, is a friendly, statewide rivalry between Virginia and Virginia Tech and their school-sponsored sports.

The school that accumulates 11.5 points or more has been annually crowned the winner and takes home the Commonwealth Clash trophy, presented by Smithfield. The first contest of the 2023-24 academic year will take place on October 15 between Virginia and Virginia Tech women’s soccer.
