The New Orleans Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game certified by the NCAA that has been played annually at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana since 2001. The game was sponsored by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts from 2002 to 2004 and was officially called the Wyndham New Orleans Bowl. R+L Carriers replaced Wyndham as the sponsor in 2006, and thus it became officially known as the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The game pits a team from Conference USA against the champions of the Sun Belt Conference, and as of 2010 is one of two guaranteed bids that the Sun Belt Conference will receive (the GMAC Bowl is the other and it is unclear, with the post-January 1 date that bowl has, whether or not the Sun Belt's automatic bid will move there).

In 2001, the Sun Belt signed a temporary contract to play against the 5th ranked team from the Mountain West Conference. That year, the Colorado State Rams came to New Orleans, and defeated North Texas, 45–20. Starting in 2002, the Sun Belt signed a multi-year contract with Conference USA, and the two conferences began their bowl rivalry that December, when North Texas played then-Conference USA member Cincinnati (and won).

Due to damage by Hurricane Katrina to the Superdome, where the game is usually played, the 2005 game was played on December 20 in Lafayette, Louisiana at Cajun Field on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and was dubbed the New Orleans Bowl at Lafayette. The game returned to the Superdome on December 22, 2006, with a new corporate sponsor in freight company R+L Carriers, renaming the game the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The game featured Troy, co-champions of the Sun Belt Conference facing Rice, making their first bowl game visit in 45 years, their last appearance being the Bluebonnet Bowl. Troy defeated Rice, 41–17.

The 2007 matchup featured the Memphis Tigers[2] playing against the Florida Atlantic Owls who appeared in their first bowl game, and won.
