The Ohio Capital Conference is a high school athletic conference located in Central Ohio. It comprises 34 public high schools located primarily in suburban Columbus, Ohio, encompassing Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Hocking Licking, Pickaway and Union counties. The league is geographically divided into three divisions of six teams each (Cardinal, Central, and Ohio) and two divisions of eight teams (Buckeye and Capital). Twenty-four schools compete in the OHSAA's Division I classification for football while ten schools compete in Division II. All conference members compete in the Central District postseason tournaments prior to the regional and state tournaments.
Academically, 27 of the 34 members were rated 'Excellent' by the Ohio Department of Education during the 2010–11 school year.
