The NCAA Rifle Championship is an annual co-educational rifle national collegiate championship sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The tournament includes an individual and team championships consisting of the two-day aggregate scoring of the smallbore competition and air rifle competition. The national championship rounds are contested annually in mid-March. West Virginia (28) and Alaska (10) combined have won 28 of the 37 Championships.
Under NCAA rules, rifle is technically designated as a men's sport, however it actually has been a coed sport since 1980. Schools sponsoring rifle may field anywhere from one to three teams. If a school chooses to sponsor more than one team, it may have any combination of men's, women's, and coed teams. Two schools field men's and women's teams, two field women's and coed teams, and VMI fields all three types of teams.
The current team national champions are the West Virginia Mountaineers who won their record nineteenth national championship in Columbus, Ohio, hosted by the Ohio State University on March 10 and 11, 2017. The individual titles title were both won by West Virginia freshman. Morgan Phillips won the small-bore titles on March 10, 2017. Milica Babic won the air rifle championship the next day.
