The University of Notre Dame earned the 2024 Men’s Capital One Cup following the 2023-24 collegiate athletics season, marking the third time the Fighting Irish have claimed the Cup title on the men’s side.
With the title, Notre Dame moves into a tie for first for most Men’s Capital One Cups in the award’s history, joining the Florida Gators and Stanford Cardinal.

The Notre Dame athletic department will receive a donation of $250,000 towards its Student-Athlete Scholarship Fund as a result of the first-place finish.
Here is how the Fighting Irish compiled the 103-point total.
