The Adelphi Panthers are the athletic teams that represent Adelphi University, located in Garden City, Long Island, New York, in NCAA Division II intercollegiate sports. The Panthers compete as members of the Northeast-10 Conference for most sports; the women's bowling team competes with the East Coast Conference. Adelphi has been a member of the NE-10 since 2009.
The Panthers have won 15 NCAA Division II National Championships in three different sports. The men's lacrosse team has won seven national crowns, their last coming in 2001. The Women's Lacrosse team has won seven, including three consecutive National Championships in 2009, 2010, 2011, and consecutive championships in 2014 and 2015. In 1974, the men's soccer team were the National Champions. They have also won numerous individual national championships in track and field.
Since transitioning to the Northeast-10, the Adelphi Panthers have become a powerhouse in the East Region. In 2013, just their fourth year in the conference, the Panthers were awarded the 2013 Northeast-10 Presidents' Cup. The Presidents' Cup is presented annually to signify overall athletic excellence in the Northeast-10. The honor is awarded to the institution that compiles the most total points from all of its programs competing in league championships. Since arriving in the Northeast-10 in 2009, the Panthers have collected 20 regular season conference titles, 24 tournament championships, 29 individual crowns and captured the Northeast-10 Presidents' Cup three times (2013, 2014, and 2016).
