Yale University is a private institution located in New Haven, Connecticut.

Each year the club usually hosts two high school tournaments: one in the fall, FAcT (Fall Academic Tournament), which uses NAQT questions, and one in the spring, BHSAT (Bulldog High School Academic Tournament), which is house-written. It was also the Northeast host for both incarnations of ACF Winter.

Yale won the NAQT DII ICT in 2002. Though the club had grown stagnant for several years thereafter, the emergence of Richard Mason and John Lawrence as strong players, and the acquisition of Stanford veteran Kevin Koai, helped to greatly strengthen it in the late 2000s.

Yale's recent regional accomplishments include victory at the Northeast NAQT SCT in 2010, 2012, and 2013, and at the Northeast site of ACF Regionals in 2010, 2011, and 2012.

In 2011, it won the DII ICT again and obtained its first ACF Nationals title. In 2012, it got 3rd place at Division I in the 2012 NAQT ICT and won ACF Nationals again. Yale took its first Division I ICT title in 2013 while a freshman team captained by Grace Liu took 2nd place in Division II.
