The six-day sports and athletic meet featured 42 events across 22 venues, drawing 3,500 athletes from 13 state universities representing six provinces.
Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT-U) Technobees clinched their fifth consecutive overall championship after collecting a total of 96 golds, 68 silvers, and 64 bronze medals, edging out CAPSU Stingrays and West Visayas State University (WVSU) West Marals who were the early leaders.

This year’s RSCUAA will go down in history as the last participation of SUC’s in Negros Occidental due to the Negros Island Region (NIR) Act.
Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) will host the next RSCUAA.
