Commonwealth Coast Conference


The Commonwealth Coast Conference is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA’s Division III. Member institutions are located in New England in the states of Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
The CCC does not directly sponsor football, but since 2017 has operated the single-sport Commonwealth Coast Football, a rebranding of the league formerly known as the New England Football Conference.
The CCC and Commonwealth Coast Football unveiled a new family of logos during a June 2019 visual rebrand

Sports

The CCC sponsors intercollegiate athletic competition in 19 sports. The conference started sponsoring football in the 2017-18 season, absorbing the former football-only New England Football Conference, although the CCC football league technically remains a separate entity from the all-sports CCC under the identity of Commonwealth Coast Football.
