The Virginia Cavaliers, also known as Wahoos or Hoos, are the athletic teams representing the University of Virginia. They compete as a member of the NCAA Division I level (FBS for football), competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference for all sports since 1953. UVA was awarded the Capital One Cup for the top NCAA men's sports program in July 2015 after winning an ACC-record three NCAA titles (the College Cup in soccer, the College World Series in baseball, and the NCAA Tennis Championships) in a single academic year. The Cavaliers have placed in the Top 5 nationally several times, ranking first in 2014–15, second in 2010–11, and fourth in 2013–14.
Virginia has won 17 NCAA national championships in men's sports, ranking first in the ACC. The program has added an additional seven NCAA national titles in women's sports for a grand total of 24 NCAA titles, second in the ACC. Standout programs include men's soccer (7 NCAA titles), men's lacrosse (7 national championships, including 5 NCAA titles), men's tennis (159–0 ACC win streak as of 2015), baseball (2015 College World Series victory, first of any ACC team in 60 years), and men's basketball (third in ACC season titles). Women's rowing has also been very successful in the twenty-first century, winning two recent NCAA titles.
