There are currently 30 undergraduate residence halls at the University of Notre Dame. Each residence hall is single-sex, with 16 all-male residence halls and 14 all-female residence halls. The university also hosts Old College, an undergraduate residence for students preparing for the priesthood.

Notre Dame has an undergraduate hall system which blends the residential college system and the house system. All first-year students are placed in one of the 31 halls upon enrollment, and students rarely switch halls. Each hall has its own spirit, tradition, mascot, sport teams, events, dances and reputation. Approximately 80% of undergraduate students live on campus, and often a student lives in the same dorm for the entirety of their undergraduate career. A huge segment of student life happens through residence halls and students develop a particular attachment to their undergraduate hall. Each residence hall is directed by one Rector with the assistance of two Assistant Rectors and a variable number of Resident Assistants (from 4 to 9). Every residence hall has a chapel where Mass is held multiple time per week, fields a variety of intramural sports teams, elects one senator to represent the dorm in Student Government, and elects a president and vice president(s) which work through the Hall Presidents Council (HPC) student organization. Interhall football between Notre Dame male dorms is the only interhall tackle football which has remained at any US university.

With the exception of Carroll Hall, the residence halls are split among five main segments of the campus: Main (God) Quad, South Quad, North Quad, Mod Quad and West Quad. (Carroll has its own lawn, by Saint Mary's Lake, informally called "Far Quad.") All first-year students are not only guaranteed on-campus housing, but are required to reside on campus for at least one semester. Many of the halls were inserted in 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places.

Breen-Phillips hall is on North Quad, between Farley and the Library. The coat of arms is based on the family shield of Breen and Phillips, with the colors adapted to match those of the hall and the lion was changed into a pig, the mascot of Breen-Phillips hall.

Construction started May 6, 1939 as a male dormitory,and the money was donated by brother in law benefactors William Breen (class of 1877) and Frank Phillips (class of 1880). It was built in collegiate Gothic style by Maginnis and Walsh. Breen was also director of the Board of Trustees and President of the alumni association. It hosted naval officers during World War II when the university was used by the Navy for training purposes. It was converted in a female dorm in 1973.
