As a note for the scoring of the event, Directors’ Cup points are awarded bases on a school’s NCAA finish in 19 sports, four of which must be men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, and baseball.

Powered by a fourth-consecutive NCAA women’s swimming & diving championship, Final Four appearances in both field hockey and men’s lacrosse, a fifth-place finish in men’s golf, and another trip to the College World Series in baseball, Virginia placed in the top five for the second year in a row (4th in 2022-2023) and for the fourth time in the 31 years the LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup has been awarded. UVA is one of only 10 schools in the country to rank in the top 30 in every year of the Directors’ Cup’s existence.

“We had another incredible season in competition and in the classroom,” said UVA director of athletics Carla Williams. “Our student-athletes, coaches and staff continue to perform at the highest level while representing themselves and this wonderful university with honor and integrity. Our continued excellence is a tribute to their hard work and dedication. We are so grateful for the opportunity to represent the University of Virginia.”
