1944 – present
Women's soccer: Three NCAA championships. In 1995 the Irish beat Portland in the final, in a tournament run that included a 4–1 semifinal dismantling of North Carolina and Monica Gerardo's golden goal against Portland. In 2004 they beat UCLA in the final; in 2010 they beat Stanford 1–0. The runner-up finishes were 1994, 1996, 1999, 2006 and 2008 — eight championship-game appearances in all.
Men's soccer: One NCAA championship: in 2013 the Irish beat Maryland 2–1 in the final.
Men's lacrosse: Two NCAA championships under coach Kevin Corrigan: in 2023 the Irish beat Duke 13–9, and in 2024 they beat Maryland 15–5, after losing finals to Duke in 2010, in overtime, and in 2014.
Men's golf: The NCAA team championship of 1944 stands in the record as the program's title from the war years.
Men's cross country: The NCAA team championship of 1957, won at East Lansing under coach Alex Wilson with 121 points — the meet's final edition open to the whole NCAA before the division split. The Irish had been close before: team runners-up in 1938 behind Greg Rice's individual title, and an individual championship for Oliver Hunter in 1942.
The university's total: Counting the team championships across its sports — with football's separate accounting told in that team's own leg — Notre Dame's team national championships reached thirty-eight by the university's count after the fencing titles of March 2026.
