The ShopRite Cup is determined through a points system designed by the NJSIAA, which rewards schools for high finishes in NJSIAA-sanctioned conference and state events. All sports at CBA are governed by the NJSIAA, except crew, rugby and sailing which have independent governing bodies.

First Place: Swimming, Indoor Track Relays, Indoor Track Overall, Outdoor Track & Field

Second Place: Soccer, Cross Country, Ice Hockey, Golf

Third Place: Tennis

Fourth Place: Wrestling


In addition, CBA earned points in both the winter and spring seasons for having zero ejections across all sports during those seasons.

2) Delbarton School (124)

3) Don Bosco Prep (119)
