    The 1970 Holy Cross Crusaders football team was an American football team that represented the College of the Holy Cross as an independent during the 1970 NCAA University Division football season. Bill Whitton returned for a second year as head coach. The team compiled a record of 0–10–1.[1]

    Reeling financially from the cancellation of all 1969 home games, Holy Cross opted to schedule an 11-game season for the first time in its history, adding a visit to West Point.[2] The no-win, 10-loss season was the worst result in Holy Cross history to that point.[3]

    All home games were played at Fitton Field on the Holy Cross campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.
