The Learfield Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today.  Through the course of the year, Directors' Cup points are awarded based on a school's finish in up to 18 sports – nine men and nine women – in NCAA Championships. In 2017-18 the scoring stipulation was added that four of the 18 sports counted for every school must be men's and women's soccer and men's and women's basketball – even if those teams do not score in those sports.
