THIS IS VIRGINIA ATHLETICS

The Virginia Athletics Department has evolved into one of the most successful in the nation as witnessed by its success on the field in both Atlantic Coast Conference play and NCAA championship competition. Since 2002, UVA has won more ACC team championships – 102 – than any other school in the conference. During their proud athletics history, the Cavaliers have won 43 national championships, including 36 NCAA team titles.

In 2015 and 2019, Virginia won the Capital One Cup as the nation’s top-achieving men’s athletics program. The Cavaliers were fifth in the 2025-26 Director's Cup. The Cavaliers have finished in the top five in three of the last four competitions. The fifth-place showing marked UVA’s seventh consecutive top-16 finish (19th overall) in the program's 33-year history. Points in the Directors’ Cup standings are awarded by a school’s NCAA postseason finish in 19 sports, four of which must be men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and volleyball.

“College athletics is a challenging enterprise. The way that Virginia wants to do it is the way that I am built to do it, and we'll continue to focus on academic achievement. We'll do it with integrity. We'll give maximum effort, and we're going to come together as a team, not just within our different sports teams, but within the athletic department and within the Charlottesville community. "To prospective students and prospective student-athletes in every sport, throughout the commonwealth of Virginia and across the country, if you are looking for a place to make big dreams a reality, if you are looking for a place to achieve goals that seem unimaginable, if you are looking for a place to defy the odds, I've found that place. Come join us at UVA, Go Hoos. ” - UVA Athletics Director Carla Williams
