Pampamantasang Asosyasyong Atletiko ng Pilipinas

Ang University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), na itinatag noong 1938 ay isang samahang pampalaksan ng walong pamantasan sa Pilipinas. Taun-taon ang mga koponan mula sa walong kasaping-pamantasang ito naglalaban-laban sa 14 na palakasan. Ngayong taong 2006, idinagdag ang Beach Volleyball bilang demonstration sport.

Kasaping-pamantasan
Itinatag ang UAAP ng apat na pamantasan: Far Eastern University, National University, ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, at ang Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas. Sa kasalukuyan, may walong kasapaing-pamantasan, lahat nga mga ito ay nasa Kalakhang Maynila.
Ang sumusunod ay ang listahan ng mga pamantasang ito kalakip ang katawagan sa kanilang mga koponan.

 Umalis noong 1953, bumalik noong 1970.

Mga Palakasan

Karamihan sa mga palakasang ito ay may Men's at Women's Divisions, maliban sa baseball, na panlalaki lamang, at softball, na pambababe lamang. Halos karamihan rin sa mga ito ang may Junior division, kung saan ang mga associated high schools (mataas na paaralan) ng mga pamantasan ang lumalahok.

Sa ngayon, apat lamang sa walong kasaping pamantasan ang lumalahok sa lahat ng palakasan. Ito ay ang Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila, Pamantasang De La Salle-Maynila, ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, at ang Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas.

Mga tunggalian
Sa loob ng 69-taong kasaysyan ng liga, likas lamang na magkaroon ng tungggalian sa ngalan ng kapurian at dangal ng sariling pamantasan. Ang mga sumusunod ay ang mga natatanging rivalries:
Ateneo de Manila at De La Salle: Maituturing na pinakabantog na interschool sports rivalry sa bansa. Walang nakatitiyak kung paano o kailan ito nagsimula na nagbunga ng ilang haka-haka ukol rito.
FEU and UE ("The Battle of the East"): Both FEU and UE have dominated the basketball tournament and have the  most UAAP basketball trophies between them in the league.
Ateneo de Manila at UP ("The Battle of Katipunan"): Tinutunton ang ugat ng rivalry na ito noong ang dalawang paaralan ito ay kapwa pa parehong nasa lungsod ng Maynila bago pa nagsimula ang NCAA. Ang mga manlalaro ng Ateno at UP ay nagtutungali sa ilang "friendly" na laro sa Intramuros at sa puntong ito natatag ng Ateneo ang unang cheering squad sa bansa.
