Abstract: The purpose of this work is to classify, for given integers $m,,ngeq1$, the bordism class of a closed smooth $m$-manifold $X$ with a free smooth involution $au$ with respect to the validity of the {it Borsuk-Ulam property} that for every continuous map $phi:Xo{R}^n$ there exists a point $xinX$ such that $phi(x)=phi(au(x))$. We will classify a given free $Z_2$-bordism class $alpha$ according to the three possible cases that (a) all representatives $(X,au)$ of $alpha$ satisfy the Borsuk-Ulam property; (b) there are representatives $(X_1,a{u}_1)$ and $(X_2,a{u}_2)$ of $alpha$ such that $(X_1,a{u}_1)$ satisfies the Borsuk-Ulam property but $(X_2,a{u}_2)$ does not; (c) no representative $(X,au)$ of $alpha$ satisfies the Borsuk-Ulam property.
