The Richmond Colts football teams represented Richmond College (now called the University of Richmond) in Richmond, Virginia. Their traditional football rival is The College of William & Mary located 45 minutes east in Williamsburg, Virginia.


No team was fielded for the 1896 college football season.

The 1898 season was significant because it marked the first meeting between Richmond and The College of William & Mary, which later became known as the I-64 Bowl (so named for the highway between the two nearby schools). The Richmond-W&M rivalry is the fourth-longest played college football rivalry and, through the 2009 match-up, the schools have played each other 119 times. Richmond won the inaugural contest 15–0.
