SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Notre Dame and Navy Midshipmen Thursday announced the two schools have agreed to a 10-year contract extension.
The deal means the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in the country -- which began in 1927 -- will continue until at least 2016.
The 2006 game will be played in Baltimore and already is under contract.
"This extension is important for both schools for a number of reasons," said Navy director of athletics Chet Gladchuk. "I am pleased we have been able to continue the series which is a highlight for our student-athletes and fans every fall."
The Irish will host the game every other year starting in 2007, and Navy will be the home team for four of the even-year contests. The sites for those contests are yet to be determined.
The 2012 game will be played in Dublin, Ireland, on Sept. 1.
Notre Dame has won the last 41 games in the series.
