 Prior to 2019–20, the rivalry involved LIU's Brooklyn campus, branded athletically as "LIU" or "Long Island" through 2013–14 and "LIU Brooklyn" from 2013 forward.With the 2019 merger of the athletic programs of LIU's two main campuses (Brooklyn and Post), creating the current LIU Sharks, the Battle of Brooklyn continues to be a pure geographic rivalry in basketball.The men's soccer rivalry is no longer a geographic "Battles of Brooklyn" because the merged LIU program chose to house that sport at the Post campus in Nassau County, New York.
