The Atlantic Coast Conference is a college athletics conference in the United States where fifteen member universities compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, with the football team ball competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level for athletic competition at US-based sports colleges. ACC's sponsorship competition in twenty-five sports with many athletic programs of its member institutions is upheld nationally. Current conference members are Boston College, Clemson University, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Florida State University, North Carolina State University, Syracuse University, Louisville University, University of Miami, University of North Carolina, University of Notre Dame, University of Pittsburgh, University of Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and Wake Forest University.
The ACC team and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in various sports throughout the conference's history. Generally, athletes and top teams of ACCs in certain sports in a given year are considered to be among the best college competitors in the country. Also, the conference enjoys extensive media coverage. The ACC is one of six college strength conferences, which have automatic qualifications for their football champions into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With the advent of College Football Playoff in 2014, the ACC is one of five conferences with a binding contract to the "New Year Six" bowl game, BCS successor.
ACC was founded on May 8, 1953 by seven universities located in the South Atlantic, with the University of Virginia joining in early December 1953 to bring its eighth membership. The disappearance of South Carolina in 1971 dropped the seventh membership, while the addition of Georgia Tech in 1979 to non-soccer sport and 1983 for football brought it back to eight, and the arrival of Florida State in 1991 for non-soccer sport and 1992 for football the ball increases membership to nine. Since 2000, with the widespread NCAA reorganization, seven additional schools have joined, and one original member (Maryland) has gone to take him to the current membership of 15 schools. The addition in recent years extends the conference trail to the Northeast and Midwest.
ACC member universities represent well-recognized private and public universities of various enrollment sizes, all participating in the Atlantic Coast Conference Academy Consortium whose goal is to "enrich the educational mission, especially the experience of undergraduate students, from member universities".

Current members
ACC has 15 member institutions located within the boundaries of 10 adjoining states. Listed in alphabetical order, these 10 states in the ACC geographical footprint are Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. The geographic area of ​​this conference is mostly located in the South and Northeast of the United States along the US Atlantic coast and stretches from Florida in the south to New York in the North and from Indiana in the west to far east Massachusetts.
In two sports, soccer and baseball, the ACC is divided into two non-geographical divisions of seven teams each, labeled "Atlantic" and "Coastal" divisions. Notre Dame did not participate in ACC football and Syracuse did not participate in the ACC baseball, leaving 14 total ACC schools for each of these sports. For all other sports, ACC operates as a single unified league without division.
When Notre Dame joined the ACC, he chose to remain an independent footballer. However, his football team made special scheduling arrangements with ACC to play the rotation of five ACC football teams per season.
Since July 1, 2014, 15 ACC members are:
Former member
On July 1, 2014, The University of Maryland went to The Big Ten Conference as a University of Louisville joined from The American Athletic Conference (formerly, The Big East Conference). In 1971, The University of South Carolina left The ACC to become independent, then joined The Metro Conference in 1983 and moved to his current home, The Southeastern Conference, in 1991.

History
Establishment and initial expansion
The ACC was founded on June 14, 1953, when seven members of the Southern Conference went to form their own conference. These seven universities became ACC member charter: Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and Wake Forest. They left partly due to a league ban at a post-season soccer game. After compiling a set of rules for the creation of a new league, the seven retreated from the Southern Conference at the spring meeting on the morning of May 8, 1953 at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. Rules ratified on June 14, 1953, and the ACC were made, became the second conference formed by the school to collectively withdraw from SoCon, after the Southeast Conference. On December 4, 1953, officials gathered in Greensboro, North Carolina, and acknowledged Virginia, a member of the SoCon charter that had been independent since 1937, into the conference.
In 1960, the ACC implemented a minimum SAT score for students-athletes who came from 750, the first conference to do so. This minimum amount was raised to 800 in 1964, but was ultimately beaten by a federal court in 1972.
On 1 July 1971, South Carolina officially left the ACC to become independent.
1978 & amp; 1991 expansion
The ACC operated with seven members until the addition of Georgia Tech from the Metro Conference, announced on 3 April 1978 and entered into force on 1 July 1979 except in football, where Tech would remain independent until joining ACC football in 1983. The total number of member schools reached nine with the addition of Florida State, also earlier from the Metro Conference, on 1 July 1991 in non-soccer sports and 1 July 1992 in football. The addition of these schools marked the first expansion of the conference footprint since 1953, although both schools are still in the ACC schools in the Southern Atlantic states.
Expansion 2004-2005
ACC added three members of the Great Eastern Conference during the reorganization of the 2005 conference: Miami and Virginia Tech joined on 1 July 2004, and Boston College joined on 1 July 2005, as the twelfth member of the league and the first from the Northeast. The expansion was controversial, such as Connecticut, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia (and, initially, Virginia Tech) filed a lawsuit against ACC, Miami, and Boston College for conspiring to undermine the Big East Conference.
2010-present
The ACC Hall of Champions opened on March 2, 2011, next to the Greensboro Coliseum arena, making ACC the second college sports conference to have a hall of fame after the Southern Conference (SoCon).
On September 17, 2011, members of the Great East Conference Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh both signed up to join the ACC. Both schools were accepted to the conference the following day, once again expanding the conference footprint like previous expansion. Because Big East intends to hold Pitt and Syracuse to the 27-month notice period requested by the league rules, the most likely date of entry into the ACC (negotiation restriction) is July 1, 2014. However, in July 2012, Big East came to an agreement with Syracuse and Pitt that allows both schools to leave the Great East on July 1, 2013.
On September 12, 2012, Notre Dame agreed to join the ACC in all sports except football and hockey as the first member of the conference in the United States Midwestern. As part of the agreement, Notre Dame will play five football games each season against the ACC team starting in 2014. On March 12, 2013, Notre Dame and Big East announced that they have reached a settlement that allows Notre Dame to join the ACC effective July 1, 2013.
On November 19, 2012, the University of Maryland Board of Directors decided to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference effectively in 2014. The following week, University of Louisville at Big East accepted the ACC invitation to become a full member, succeeding Maryland effective July 1, 2014.
ACC President announced on April 22, 2013, that the 15 schools that will be members of the conference in 2014-15 have signed a media rights grant (GOR), effective immediately and run through the academic year 2026-27, to coincide with the duration of the current TV deal with ESPN. This step essentially prevents the ACC from targeting for other conferences wishing to expand - under grants, if the school leaves the conference during the contract period, all revenues derived from the school's media rights for the home game will belong to the ACC and not the school. The move also makes the SEC the only FBS Power Five conference without GOR.
In July 2016, the GOR was extended through the school year 2035-36, to coincide with the signing of a new 20-year deal with ESPN that would transform the ad hoc ACC Network to that time into a complete network. The new network was launched as a digital service in the school year 2016-17 and is planned to be launched as a linear network by August 2019.
Academics and ACCAC
Academic ranking
Among the major NCAA athletic conferences sponsoring NCAA Division I FBS football, including the current "Power Five conferences", ACC has been considered to have the highest collection of academic members based on the US. News & amp; World Report and by the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate.
ACCAC and ACC academic network
ACC members participated in the Atlantic Coast Conference Academy Consortium (ACCAC), a consortium that provides vehicles for academic and inter-institutional collaboration among member universities. Growing out from the broad doctoral exchange student conference program established in 1999, ACCAC has expanded its scope into other domestic and international collaborations.
The established ACCAC mission is to "utilize the athletic and identity associations among 15 ACC universities to enrich university member education missions." To that end, collaborative help organize academic initiatives, including scholarship and scholarship programs, global research initiatives, leadership conferences, and extensive overseas study programs. Funding for its operations, 90% of which is spent on direct student support, comes from a portion of the revenue generated by the ACC Championship Football Championship and with additional allocations by individual universities and grants.
ACCAC academic program
The main academic programs that have been implemented under ACCAC include:
- The annual bachelor research conference Mind Meeting (MOM).
- The annual Student Leadership Conference .
- The Creativity and Innovation Fellowship Program in which each university receives $ 12,500 for awards between two and five undergraduate scholarships of ACCAC scholarship for research or creative projects.
- The Undergraduate Study Program in which each ACC university will receive $ 5,000 to support up to two undergraduate students in conducting residential studies at other ACC universities for a minimum period of 10 weeks during the summer.
- Debates Championship ACC
- The ACC Inventure Prize Competition is a Shark Tank-like innovation competition for a student team from the ACC university.
- The Student Federal Relations Trip to Washington, D.C. is an annual journey of student delegates from the ACC university to the nation's capital.
- The Creativity Competition is planned to become an ACC-based, interdisciplinary competition based on a team that emphasizes the use of creative design and art to begin in 2017.
- The Lecturer Program in which five ACC universities choose outstanding faculty members as ACCAC Distinguished Lecturers. In addition to the award, ACCAC provides financial support to enable each ACC university to sponsor "honorable college" events on their campus.
- Series of Executive Leadership is a two-day skills improvement program designed for the Dean, Vice Provost, and Vice-Chancellor of the ACC University.
- The annual Presidential Conference .
- Trainers for Higher Education Program , especially for athlete-students and run through Duke University with support from ACCAC, who took 32 ACC students to Vietnam for three weeks in the summer to train hundreds of secondary schoolchildren.
- Departure Undergraduate Program which allows PhD candidates from one ACC campus to access courses, laboratories, libraries, or other sources on one of the other ACC campus campuses.
- The Clean Energy Hibah Competition which helps coordinate a geographically assigned ACC university cluster in a competition for the Clean Energy Fund of the US Department of Energy.
- The Collaboration Study Abroad Program enabling cross-registration in overseas courses enrolls in programs sponsored by ACC universities other than their "home" universities. The Overseas Study Scholarship Program which provides two to five ACCAC scholarships for study abroad is suspended in 2013, but is targeted to be updated in 2014-15.
ACCAC also supports regular meetings between faculty, administration, and staff pursuing similar interests and responsibilities at member universities either with face-to-face conferences, video conferences, or telephone conferences. The ACCAC affinity group includes them for International Relations Officers, Overseas Study Directors, Director of Learning Centers, Head of Information Officers, Head of Procurement Officers, Coordinator of Undergraduate Research Conference, Vice President for Student Affairs, Coordinator of Student Leadership Conference, and Representative of Faculty Athletes ACC.
Spending and revenue
Total revenues include ticket sales, contributions and donations, rights/licenses, student fees, school funds, and all other sources including TV revenues, camp income, food, and stuff. Total costs include training/staff, scholarships, buildings/yards, maintenance, utilities and rental fees, and all other expenses including recruitment, team travel, equipment and uniforms, conference dues, and insurance fees.

Sports
The Atlantic Coast conference sponsored the championship competition in thirteen male and fourteen sports approved by the female NCAA. The most recently added sport is fence, added for the school year 2014-15 after absences from the conference since 1980; Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, and Notre Dame participated in the sport.
As all ACC members (including non-football members of Notre Dame) field the FBS football team, they are subject to NCAA requirements that FBS schools field at least 16 NCAA-recognized sports universities. However, the ACC itself requires sponsorship of only four sports - football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and either women's football or women's volleyball. All ACC members sponsor all five sports named except Georgia Tech, which sponsors women's volleyball but not women's soccer.

Football
The ACC is considered one of the Power Five conferences, all of whom receive their champions' automatic championship placement into one of six major bowl games. Seven of its members claimed the national football championship in their history, with two having won the now-defunct Bowl Championship Series (BCS) during its existence between 1998 and 2014 and one winning under the current Football Football Playoff (CFP) system. Its five members are one of the top 25 best college football programs of all time.
Division
In 2005, the ACC began playing the division in football. Division leaders compete in the playoff to determine the ACC championship. The inaugural Championship game was played on December 3, 2005, in Jacksonville, Florida, where it became known as the Alltel Stadium, where Florida State beat Virginia Tech to win the 12th championship since joining the league in 1992. Notre Dame started playing some ACC team every year in 2014, but is not considered a member of football and is not eligible to play in the Championship Acc Championship.
The ACC is the only NCAA Division I conference whose share is not geographically divided (eg, North/South, East/West).
Previous division structure causes each team to play the following games:
- Five matches in division (one against each opponent)
- One game against the designated permanent rival of the other division (not necessarily the closest school rival, even in the conference); this is similar to SEC settings
- Two rotating games (one house, one more) against team in another division
- Four games outside the conference.
On February 3, 2012, the ACC announced a new regular-season scheduling format that added Syracuse to the Atlantic and Pittsburgh Divisions to the Coastal Division. These new teams are paired as cross-divisional rivals. This change applies when Pitt and Syracuse join the conference in July 2013. On October 3, 2012, it was announced that an additional game in the division would result in a smaller cross-division game.
The current division structure leads to each team playing the following games:
- Six matches in division (three home, three away games, one on one)
- One game against the designated permanent rival of the other division (not necessarily the closest school rival, even in the conference); this is similar to SEC settings
- One match spins against team in another division
- Four games outside the conference. (Beginning with the 2014 season, one of the four OOC games will be against Notre Dame every two to three years, as Notre Dame will play against five ACC opponents in non-conference matches each season.)
Beginning with the 2017 season, ACC members will be required to play at least one non-conference match each season against teams in the "Power 5" conference. The match against Notre Dame also meets the requirements. In January 2015, the conference announced that a game against another independent FBS, BYU, would also be taken into account against those requirements. The ACC team can also fulfill the requirements by scheduling one another in a non-conference game; this first example was also announced in January 2015, when North Carolina and Wake Forest announced that they would be playing a non-conference series of homes and homes by 2019 and 2021.
In the table below, each column represents a division. Each permanent rival of the designated team is listed in the same row in the opposing column. Alignment reflects them in place since Louisville joined the ACC in 2014.
Bowl game
In the College Football Playoff, the Orange Bowl serves as the home of the ACC champions against Notre Dame or another team from the SEC or Big Ten. If a conference winner is selected for the CFP, another ACC team will be selected at their place.
Other bowls select the ACC team in the order defined by the agreement between the conference and the bowl.
Starting in 2014, Notre Dame is eligible to be selected as an ACC representative for one of the contracted bowl games. The choice of the ACC bowl will no longer be bound by the "one-win rule" stiffness but will have a list of common criteria to emphasize kinship and the quality of matches in the field. The one-win rule applies to the participation of Notre Dame in the ACC Bowl structure. Notre Dame is now eligible for ACC Bowl selection starting with Citrus Bowl and continues through the selection of league bowls. However, Notre Dame should be within one win of the available ACC team that has the best overall record, to choose from. In other words, if the ACC team is 9-3, the Notre Dame 7-5 team can not be selected in its place. Notre Dame should be 8-4 to be selected over a 9-3 league team.
* If an ACC Champion is not present in one of the semi-finals will appear in the Orange Bowl, or, if the Orange Bowl is a national or semifinal championship site, one of the playoff "host" bowls, either Fiesta, Cotton or Chick-fil-A Peach. There is no limit on how many teams the Football College Playoff can choose from a particular conference.
** Only if the ACC opponent at the Orange Bowl, in the non-semifinal year is a team from the Big Ten, a maximum of three times in six years.
*** After the 2014 and 2016 season; all others as a conditional option if not filled by C-USA or The American.
**** Conditional throughout the year if not filled by SEC or The American.
National championship
Although the NCAA did not specify the official national champions for FBS Division I soccer, some ACC members claimed the national championship awarded by various "major voters" of the national championship as recognized at the official NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records . Since 1936 and 1950 respectively, this includes what is now the most pervasive and influential voters, the Associated Press and Coaches Poll polls. In addition, from 1998 to 2013, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) used a mathematical formula to match the top two teams at the end of the season. The BCS winners are contractually awarded the Coaches' Poll national championship and AFCA National Championship Trophy and MacArthur Trophy from the National Football Foundation. Maryland won a championship as an ACC member in 1953.
- Italics shows the championship won before the school joins the ACC.
- In addition, non-footballing members of Notre Dame claim 11 national titles. Many sources, however, credit the Fighting Irish with 13. See Notre Dame Fighting Irish football national championships for more details.
Basket
History
The initial roots of ACC basketball started mainly thanks to two men: Everett Case and Frank McGuire. Case accepted job of head coaching in North Carolina State. The North Carolina State Case team dominated the early years of ACC with a fast-paced, modern style game. He became the fastest college basketball coach to win many "game victory" milestones. Case is known as The Father of ACC Basketball. Despite his success in court, he may even be a better promoter off the field. The case recognizes the need to sell its programs and universities. The state began construction at the Reynolds Coliseum in 1941. The case persuaded school officials to expand the arena to 12,400. Opened as a new home court for his team in 1949; at the time, it was the largest arena on campus in the South. As such, it is used as a host site for many Southern Conference Tournaments, ACC Tournaments, and Dixie Classic. The Dixie Classic generated huge revenues for all the schools involved and soon became one of the major sporting events in the South.
Partly to counteract the success of Case, North Carolina convinced Frank McGuire to come to Chapel Hill in 1952. McGuire knew that, largely because of Case's influence, basketball is now a high school athletic event in the region. He not only tapped into the growing market of high school talent in North Carolina, but also brought in some recruits from his home region of New York City as well. Case and McGuire literally find the competition. Both are aware of the benefits created through the competition between them. It brought national attention to both of their programs and increased fan support on both sides.
After the State slapped with crippling NCAA sanctions before the 1956-57 season, McGuire's team in North Carolina sent ACC as its first national championship. During the Tar Heels championship run, Greensboro businessman Castleman D. Chesley paid attention to the popularity it generated. He built a five-station television network to broadcast the Final Four. The network began broadcasting regular season ACC matches in the following season - the ancestors of today's television package from Raycom Sports. Since then, ACC basketball has gained immense popularity.
The ACC has been home to many famous basketball coaches besides Case and McGuire, including Terry Holland and Tony Bennett from Virginia; Vic Bubas and Mike Krzyzewski from Duke; Press Maravich, Norm Sloan, and Jim Valvano from North Carolina State; Dean Smith and Roy Williams from North Carolina; McKinney's bone from Wake Forest; Lefty Driesell and Gary Williams from Maryland; Bobby Cremins of Georgia Tech; Jim Boeheim from Syracuse; and Rick Pitino of Louisville.
Tournament as a championship
The most likely contribution to Case Case is the ACC Tournament, which was first played in 1954 and decides the winner of the ACC title. The ACC is unique because it is the only Division I campus basketball conference that does not officially recognize regular season champions. It started when only one school per conference made the NCAA tournament. ACC representatives are determined by conference tournaments rather than regular season results. Therefore, the league eliminated the regular season title in 1961, choosing to only recognize the winners of the ACC tournament as the champions of the conference. Fans and the media did claim a regular season title for the team that finished first, and the NCAA admitted the winners of the regular season title to maintain its system in choosing NIT and NCAA tournament places based on regular season placements. For the ACC, unauthorized crowning of regular season champions is insignificant as the 1975 NCAA regulatory changes allow more than one team per conference to get an offer to the NCAA Tournament. As a result, teams that finish at the top of the regular seasonal ACC standings are always invited to the NCAA Tournament even if they do not win the ACC Tournament. Even so, any claims for regular season "titles" remain unofficial and bring no prizes other than top seeds in the ACC tournament.
Historically, the ACC has been dominated by four teams from Tobacco Road in North Carolina - North Carolina, Duke, North Carolina State and Wake Forest. Among them, they have won 50 tournament titles. They have also won or shared 59 regular season titles, including all but four since 1981. However, the Virginia Cavaliers, winning regular season titles in 2014 and 2015, became the first ACC team in addition to Duke or North Carolina who just won back to the Races regular season since 1974.
Schedule of the day
For 53 years, the ACC used a double round-robin schedule in the regular season, where each team played the other twice in a season. With the expansion to 12 teams in the 2005-2006 season, the ACC schedule can no longer accommodate this format. In an agreed new scheduling format, each team is given two fixed partners and nine partners who rotate over a three year period. Teams play their permanent partners in home-and-away series every year. The rotating partners are divided into three groups: three teams play in home-and-away series, three teams play at home, and three teams play on the road. The rotating partner groups are rotated so a team will play each fixed pair six times, and each plays partner four times, over a three-year period.
For the 2012-13 season, the 12-team schedule in the conference expanded to 18. Originally for the 2013-14 season, an extended 14 team schedule, 18 games consisted of home and away games with "major partners" while the remaining conference opponents will spin in group three: one year both home and away, one year at home only, and one more year alone. However, when Notre Dame was also added for the 2013-14 season, now 15 teams, the 18-match schedule has been modified so that each school plays two "Partners" homes and goes every year, two houses and leave, five houses, and five others leave. In 2013-14, after 1 year in 18 matches, women's basketball returns to a 16-match schedule where each team only plays two teams twice, spins an opponent every year for seven years and has no permanent partner.
The ACC and Big Ten Conference have been hosting the ACC-Big Ten Challenge every season since 1999. This competition is a series of regular season matches involving the ACC and the Big Ten team against each other. Each team usually plays one Challenge game each season, except for some teams from larger conferences that are left out due to unequal conference size. The first ACC-Big Ten Women challenge was played in 2007, and has the same format as the Men Challenge.
National Championships and Final Fours
During its existence, ACC schools have captured 13 NCAA men's basketball championships as members of the conference. North Carolina has won six, Duke has won five, NC State has won two, and Maryland has won one. Three other national titles were won by current ACC members while at other conferences - two in 2014 the arrival of Louisville and one in 2013 the arrival of Syracuse; Louisville was forced to vacate a third national title due to NCAA sanctions. Seven of the 12 pre-2013 members have advanced to the Final Four at least once while the ACC members. Another pre-2013 member, Florida State, made the Final Four one time before joining the ACC. All three schools entering the ACC in 2013, as well as Louisville, advance to the Final Four at least once before joining the conference.
Also important is the previous national championship of the historical era before the dominance of the championship managed NCAA. ACC is often credited with forcing NCAA tournaments to expand to allow more than one team per conference, creating the NCAA field in public places today. The Helms Athletic Foundation chose national champions for the season that started the start of the NCAA tournament (1939), including North Carolina, Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse. Prior to the at-large era (1975), the National Invitation Tournament tournament had a prestige comparable to the NCAA championships, and Louisville, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia Tech won titles during this period (later the NIT title was not considered a national championship consensus).
In women's basketball, ACC members have won three national championships at the conference, North Carolina in 1994, Maryland in 2006, and Notre Dame in 2018. Notre Dame, who joined in 2013, also previously won the national title in the year 2001. In 2006, Duke, Maryland, and North Carolina all advanced to the Final Four, the first time a conference put three teams in the Final Four princess. The two finalists came from the ACC, with Maryland defeating Duke for the title.
Italics show the awards they received before the school joined the ACC. The national championship tournament before 1982 is run by AIAW.
Baseball
ACC has won the College World Series twice: by Virginia Cavaliers in 2015 and by Wake Forest in 1955. However, the current conference school has won six times, including four titles by Miami before joining the ACC. In addition, South Carolina has won CWS twice since leaving ACC. Member schools have appeared in College World Series a combined total of 93 times. In 2013, ACC was ranked as a top-level baseball conference by Rating Percentage Index (RPI) and has consistently ranked among the top three conferences of that size over the last five years. In 2013, eight ACC teams, plus future ACC members, Louisville, were selected to play in the NCAA Baseball Tournament Division I 2013, with North Carolina, North Carolina State and Louisville progressing to the World College Series.
ACC Baseball is divided into two divisions, the Atlantic Division and the Coastal Division, which parallel the ACC football division except for the fact that Syracuse is the only ACC school that does not have a baseball team and Notre Dame assigned to the Atlantic Division. Louisville replaces Maryland in the Atlantic Division starting with the 2015 season.

Field hock
ACC has won 18 of 34 NCAA Championships in the field of hockey. Maryland won 8 as a member of the ACC.
Golf
From current ACC members, 12 golf man sponsors and 10 golf ladies sponsors. The four national championship teams in men's golf and six national titles in women's golf have been won by ACC members at the conference, led by the Duke women team that has won six national titles since 1999. In addition, two more national team titles, one in golf men and one in ladies golf, have been won by current ACC members before they join the conference.

Lacrosse
Since 1971, when the first male national champion was determined by the NCAA, the ACC has won 13 NCAA championships, more than any other conference in lacrosse lectures. Virginia has won seven national championships total, North Carolina has won five, and Duke has won three. Former member of ACC, Maryland won two national championships as ACC members. In addition, prior to the formation of the NCAA tournament, Maryland has won nine national championships while Virginia won two. Syracuse, who joined ACC in 2013, won ten NCAA-sponsored national championships, the most by the Division I lacrosse program, before joining the conference. Since 1987, the only year in which the national championship match does not feature current ACC members is 2015 and 2017.
Lacrosse women have just won the national championship since 1982, and ACC won more titles than any other conference. Overall, ACC has won 14 women's national championships: Maryland has won eleven as a member of ACC, Virginia has won three and North Carolina has won two.
Italics show championships before they become part of the ACC.

Soccer
Twelve of the fifteen ACC schools sponsor male football - a higher proportion than any of the other Power Five conferences. Only three of the southernmost ACC schools - Georgia Tech, Florida State, and Miami - do not sponsor football. Virginia has won 7 NCAA titles, and more since 1990 than any other university in the country. The entire ACC has won 16 national championships, including 16 of 31 seasons between 1984 and 2014. Seven by Virginia and the remaining nine by Clemson (twice), North Carolina (twice) ), Duke, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame.
In women's soccer, North Carolina has won 21 of the 28 NCAA titles since the NCAA crowned the first champion, as well as the only Association for Intercolip Football Championships for Women (AIAW) in 1981. The Tar Heels also won 19 of the 22 ACC tournaments. They lost in the final to North Carolina State in 1988 and Virginia in 2004, both on penalties. The 2010 tournament was the first in which they failed to make the championship match, falling to eventual champion Wake Forest in the semi-finals. The ACC 2012 tournament sees North Carolina's first quarter-final loss, for Virginia's eventual champion; However, Tar Heels went on to win the national title that season. In 2014, Florida State became the first school other than North Carolina to win a national championship as an ACC member. Notre Dame won three NCAA titles before joining the ACC in 2013.
