[2] A member of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10),[3] Davidson College sponsors teams in ten men's and nine women's NCAA sanctioned sports.

[4] The Wildcats previously competed in the Southern Conference,[5] and the wrestling team retains associate membership in that league since the sport is not sponsored by the A-10.

Bowl Games Davidson's basketball team first reached considerable success in the 1960s under Coach Lefty Driesell, when Sports Illustrated ranked it No.

With that victory, the Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight where they lost to the eventual champion Kansas Jayhawks 59–57, capping off an incredible run that saw the rise of Stephen Curry to national prominence.

The men's soccer team at Davidson was declared a varsity sport in 1956 and had their first All-American player, Claude Finney, just four years later in 1960.

Led by two-time All-American Rob Ukrop, Davidson finished the regular season 17–5–5, earning an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament.

Davidson lost 3–2 in overtime against San Diego in the semifinal game, but the team received plenty of accolades.

Davidson has never had an All-American wrestler at the NCAA Wrestling Team Championship and has had just eleven Southern Conference champions through 2018.
