VIA EDGAR TRANSMISSION Securities and Exchange Commission Re: The RBB Fund Trust (the “Trust”) Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File Nos.: 033-200168 and 811-23011)

Dear Ms. Lithotomos:

The purpose of this letter is to respond to the oral comments you provided regarding the Trust’s post-effective amendment (“PEA”) No. 47 to its registration statement on Form N-1A. PEA No. 47 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form N-1A on November 1, 2024.

The Trust will file a subsequent PEA under Rule 485(b) (“Amended Registration Statement”) to update any missing information, respond to Staff comments, and file updated exhibits.

For your convenience, each comment has been reproduced in bold typeface immediately followed by the Trust’s response. Capitalized but undefined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement. The Trust confirms that, where applicable, the responses to the comments provided in one section of the Registration Statement will be similarly updated in other parallel sections of the Registration Statement, except as noted by the Trust. The changes to the disclosures discussed below will be reflected in the next post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.

1. Comment: As a global comment for all funds, please complete the Fee and Expense tables and provide them to the Commission at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date.

Response: Please see updated Fee and Expense tables below.

Penn Capital Short Duration High Income Fund:

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

Other Expenses 0.84%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 1.29%

Less Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement(1) -0.75%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement) 0.54%

(1) The RBB Fund Trust (the “Trust”) and Penn Capital Management Company, LLC (the “Advisor”), have entered into an expense limitation agreement under which the Advisor has agreed to waive management fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (including any acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in other investment companies managed by the Advisor, but excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in unaffiliated investment companies, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and extraordinary and other non-routine expenses) through the period ending December 31, 2025 do not exceed 0.54% for Institutional Class shares. Under the agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed by the Fund for any fees it waived and expenses it paid for a period of three years following the month of the fee waiver or payment, to the extent such reimbursement will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that was in place when the fees were waived or expenses paid. The expense limitation agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”) at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund’s advisory contract with the Advisor.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and that the expense limitation applies only for the first year.

Under the agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed by the Fund for any fees it waived and expenses it paid for a period of three years following the month of the fee waiver or payment, to the extent such reimbursement will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that was in place when the fees were waived or expenses paid.

Response: A special meeting of shareholders (the “Special
Meeting”) of the Penn Capital Short Duration High Income Fund, Penn Capital Opportunistic High Income Fund, and Penn Capital Mid
Cap Core Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) was held on November 7, 2024. At the Special Meeting,
shareholders of each Fund voted to approve the proposed new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and
Penn Capital.

At the Special Meeting, an insufficient
number of shareholders of the Penn Capital Special Situations Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Special Situations Fund”) were present,
in person or by proxy. As a result, there was no quorum, and the shareholders of the Special Situations Fund were unable to vote on the
proposed investment advisory agreement (“New Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Special Situations Fund
