The Black Diamond Trophy was a college football trophy that annually went to the winner of the West Virginia University and Virginia Tech football game. The trophy was introduced in 1997 and was meant to symbolize the Appalachian region’s rich coal heritage (the phrase "black diamond" is often used as a term for coal.)

According to hokiesports.com, the Black Diamond Trophy was sponsored by the Rish Equipment Company, which provides funding for athletic scholarships at both Tech and West Virginia. Retrieved on 12 December 2006.

Virginia Tech held the trophy in 6 of the 9 years in which it was contested, but West Virginia University holds a 28-22-1 overall record over Virginia Tech. The final game of the series was played on 1 October 2005, in Morgantown, WV. Virginia Tech won the game 34-17.

As of the 2006 season, neither school has the other listed on their schedule and the future of the Black Diamond Trophy is uncertain.
