The 1875 Yale Bulldogs football team represented Yale University in the 1875 college football season. The Bulldogs finished with a 2–2 record. The team won games against Rutgers and Wesleyan and lost to Harvard and Columbia.^[1]

In this season, the first Yale vs Harvard contest was held, two years after the inaugural Yale vs Princeton football contest. Harvard athlete Nathaniel Curtis challenged Yale's captain, William Arnold, to a rugby-style game.^[2]^[3] The next season Curtis was captain.^[4] He took one look at Walter Camp, then only 156 pounds, and told Yale captain Gene Baker "You don't mean to let that child play, do you? . . . He will get hurt."^[5]^[6]

The two teams agreed to play under a set of rules called the "Concessionary Rules", which involved Harvard conceding something to Yale's soccer and Yale conceding a great deal to Harvard's rugby.^[7] The game featured a round ball instead of a rugby-style oblong ball,^[8] and caused Yale to drop association football in favor of rugby.^[9]
