The RMAC All-Sports Cup standings are determined on a points system based on regular season finishes or RMAC Championship finishes in cross country, track and field, and swimming. Institutions must count the finishes of their four core sports (men's basketball, women's basketball, women's volleyball, and either football or men's soccer), plus six additional sports will be counted toward an institution's total, with the top three men's finishes and top three women's finishes by points awarded counted. For teams that award a regular-season title, points are awarded based on a team's finish in the regular season, and for sports that do not award a regular season title, points are awarded based on a team's finish in their respective RMAC Championship.

During the 2025-26 school year, CSU Pueblo scored a total of 319.8 points in its core sports football scored 100 points thanks to repeating as the RMAC Champion and then scoring 87.3 points for finishing in a three-way tie for second in men's basketball, 87 points for a second place finish in volleyball and 45.5 points for tying for ninth place in women's basketball.
