Navy Director of Rugby Gavin Hickie previews the Midshipmen's 2024 national championship game vs. Saint Mary's College in Houston, Texas.

The United States Naval Academy offers 36 varsity sports.

Navy Football offers a unique college football game day atmosphere and pageantry that dates back to 1879. The Midshipmen completed their 143rd season of competition in 2023. They were led by first-year head coach Brian Newberry, the 40th leader in Navy Football history, who was appointed by Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. Newberry had served as defensive coordinator from 2019-2022. The team finished 5-7.

The Mids pride themselves on dominance against service academy foe and archrival Army Black Knights in the Star Series. Navy is 39-4-2 against Army in the annual series over the past 45 years.

Navy has cultivated a dynasty in its NCAA Division I Olympic, distance and endurance sports. Among its 17 conference championships in the 2022-23 season, the USNA swept the Patriot League titles in Cross Country (Men's and Women's), Swimming & Diving (Men's and Women's), Women's Rowing, and Indoor Track & Field and Outdoor Track & Field (both Men's and Women's). Navy has won 147 Patriot League titles since joining the conference in the 1991-92 campaign. On March 1, Gladchuk announced that Navy would sponsor Women's Triathlon as its 36th varsity sport, beginning competition in the fall.

Men's Rugby compiled an 18-0 record and clinched the Collegiate Rugby Association of America (CRAA) Division 1-A National Championship.
