Princeton University

Princeton sponsors 38 varsity intercollegiate teams (20 for men, 18 for women), with slightly more than 1,000 participants—about 20 percent of the undergraduate population. In addition, an estimated 1,000 students also participate in the University’s 35 club teams.

Varsity Sports. Princeton teams have won the Ivy League’s unofficial all-sports points championship each of the past 23 years, and Princeton has also had at least one team or individual national champion each of the past 23 years, including the women’s squash team’s and men’s lightweight crew’s 2009 national championships. Since 2000, 31 of the 33 Princeton teams that compete in official Ivy League sports have won at least one league championship.

The 2008–09 athletic year saw Princeton win 11 Ivy titles, four more than the next highest total in the league. Princeton teams have combined to win 104 Ivy titles in the past 10 years, which is 40 more than the school with the next highest total in the league.
