The Virginia Cavaliers, also known as Wahoos or Hoos, are the athletic teams representing the University of Virginia, located in Charlottesville. They compete at the NCAA Division I level (FBS for football), in the Atlantic Coast Conference since 1953. UVA, referred to as simply Virginia by the national media, fields one of the top athletics programs in the nation and was awarded the Capital One Cup for finishing first nationwide in overall men's sports for 2015. The Cavaliers have regularly placed among the Top 5 nationally.
Virginia has won an ACC-best 18 NCAA national championships in men's sports. The program has added seven NCAA national titles in women's sports for a grand total of 25 NCAA titles, second in the ACC. Standout programs include men's soccer (7 NCAA titles), men's lacrosse (7 national titles, including 5 NCAA titles), men's tennis (159–0 ACC win streak from 2006 to 2016; 2016 and 2017 NCAA Champions), baseball (winners of the 2015 College World Series), and men's basketball (third in ACC season titles). Women's rowing has added two recent NCAA titles. In addition to the 25 official NCAA national titles, the Cavaliers have won six in indoor men's tennis, two USILA titles for men's lacrosse, and one AIAW title in women's indoor track and field, for 34 total team national titles. Former football coach George Welsh ranks second for most wins in ACC history. Going further back, UVA men's boxing was a leading collegiate program when boxing was a major national sport in the first half of the 20th century, completing four consecutive undefeated seasons between 1932 and 1936.
