General Sports and Championships Information

The NCAA administers 88 championships in 23 sports for its member institutions. There are several other sports for which the NCAA does not conduct championships or establish rules and regulations; these are traditionally called "club" sports.

More than 40,000 student-athletes participate in NCAA championship competition each year. Each championship is run by a committee of coaches and administrators from NCAA member schools who are experts in their sport.

On this page you will find links to information about off-the-field functions that make these sports click, such as marketing, promotion and student-athlete eligibility. You can also access information about sports identified as "emerging sports" for women.
