Intramural sports are organized within a single institution, such as a school or workplace, and typically involve participants from that specific community. Extramural sports, on the other hand, involve teams or individuals competing against those from other institutions or organizations. Extramural sports often involve higher levels of competition and may require travel to compete against external opponents.

Intramural sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a set geographic area. The term derives from the Latin words intra muros meaning "within walls",[1] and was used to indicate sports matches and contests that took place among teams from "within the walls" of an ancient city (as opposed to a varsity teamwhich competed with teams from other cities and towns).

Extramural refers to that which exists outside the walls of an organized unit, be that a city, school, or hospital. In an educational context, extramural means to study outside, but under the aegis of, a university or other institution. Extramural studies are taken by the student away from the physical campus, and are often used for those unable to attend classes
