List of Atlantic Coast Conference champions


The Atlantic Coast Conference awards championships in 26 sports—12 men's, 13 women's, and one coeducational (fencing, which was relaunched as an official conference sport in 2014–15 after having been absent since 1980). In all sports except football and volleyball, champions are determined by a post-season tournament or meet. In football, the teams with the best conference records from the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions play in the ACC Championship Game for the conference title. The volleyball title is awarded based on regular-season play.

Through August 2016

The ACC Baseball champion was determined by regular season finish from 1954 until 1972 and in 1979. The ACC Tournament has determined the champion since 1973. All schools but Syracuse field a baseball team.

All 15 full members sponsor men's basketball.

All 15 full members sponsor women's basketball. The ACC began sponsoring women's basketball in the 1977–78 season.

All 15 schools sponsor women's cross country.

Four schools—Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, and Notre Dame—relaunched ACC fencing in the 2014–15 school year after the sport had been absent from the conference since 1980. Fencing was a men's sport during the first era of ACC fencing from 1971 to 1980. Today, ACC fencing is a coeducational sport, with teams fielding separate men's and women's squads and all bouts involving a single sex. Although the NCAA Fencing Championships award only a single team title, the ACC Fencing Championships award separate men's and women's team titles.

Seven schools—Boston College, Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, Syracuse, Virginia, and Wake Forest—sponsor women's field hockey.

The ACC football champion was determined based on regular season finish from 1953 until 2004. In 2005, the conference split into two divisions, and the division winners meet in the ACC Championship Game. Notre Dame is not an ACC member in football. They remain independent but have a yearly 5-game scheduling agreement with the ACC.

All schools except Miami, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse sponsor men's golf.

All schools except Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse sponsor women's golf. The most recent additions to ACC women's golf were Clemson, which added the sport in 2013–14 (2014 season), and Virginia Tech, which added it in 2015–16 (2016 season).

The ACC sponsored women's gymnastics for one season, 1984. Duke discontinued their program following the season, and the conference stopped sponsoring the sport. The conference initially planned to resume sponsoring gymnastics once Pittsburgh joined in 2013–14, but backed away from those plans once Maryland announced its 2014 departure for the Big Ten.
