Catholic Central's arch athletic rival is Birmingham Brother Rice High School. Catholic Central holds a 28–26–1 lead in football games played between the two schools as of 2011.

Catholic Central won 6 state titles in the 2009–2010 school year. This tied the previous national record for most state championships won by a single school in a single year.

The hockey team maintains a rivalry with Trenton High School. The two teams have played every year, and will continue playing once trenton becomes a member of the MIHL. In 2010, Fox Sports and "Replay Fuled by Gatorade" chose to showcase the CC-Trenton rivalry by continuing a game from the 1998–99 season which prematurely ended after a player was seriously injured on the ice when the game was tied 4–4.

The Shamrocks compete in the Central Division of the Catholic High School League and in Class A/Division I (largest schools) of the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
