UNC has been named the winner of the 2024-25 Capital One Cup, awarded annually to the most successful women’s athletic program of the season. The winner is determined by accumulating points in a combination of NCAA championship wins and major poll finishes.
Four women’s sports programs at UNC – field hockey, soccer, lacrosse and tennis – contributed toward the Tar Heels’ final tally. Lacrosse and soccer each won national championships, while field hockey and tennis reached the national semifinals in their respective tournaments.
UNC beat out Stanford and Texas to win the 2024-25 cup. Rounding out the Top 10 were USC, Northwestern, UCLA, Penn State, UConn, Oklahoma and Oregon. To commemorate the victory, Capital One will donate $250,000 to UNC for athletic scholarships.
“We applaud the UNC Tar Heels women’s athletics program for an outstanding year of competition, marked by drive and resiliency,” said Stephanie Mosley, Senior Director of Brand Sponsorships and Experiential Marketing at Capital One. “We are proud to continue our Capital One Cup program, which has awarded over $5 million in student athlete scholarship fund donations.”
This is the second time UNC has won the Capital One Cup for women’s sports, after doing so for the 2012-13 season. UNC’s win snapped a streak of three straight wins by Texas. Prior to the Longhorns’ three-peat, Stanford had won the previous four women’s cups. UNC, Florida and USC are the only other programs to win the women’s cup, which was first awarded in 2010-11.
UNC will be honored alongside the men’s winner, Ohio State, during the ESPYs ceremony July 16. The ceremony will air live on ABC at 8 p.m. that evening. Also representing the Tar Heels at the ESPYs will be the women’s lacrosse team (nominated for Best Team), Chloe Humphrey (nominated for Best Breakthrough Athlete) and women’s soccer star Kate Faasse (nominated for Best Collegiate Athlete in Women’s Sports).
UNC also came in fourth place in the 2024-25 Learfield Director’s Cup, which measures athletic achievement across both men’s and women’s sports.
