The Princeton Tigers men's lacrosse team represents Princeton University in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse play. Princeton currently competes as a member of the Ivy League and plays its home games at the Class of 1952 Stadium in Princeton, New Jersey.
Prior to the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament, Princeton was voted as national champion six times, in 1884, 1885, 1937, 1942, 1951, and 1953. Princeton also went undefeated in Ivy League play from 1957 to 1963 (Ivy League lacrosse began in 1956), and tied with Harvard in 1960 in an otherwise perfect season. Between 1957 and 1965, the team won nine consecutive Ivy League titles. The team has since won ten consecutive Ivy League titles from 1995 through 2004.[2] Between 1990 and 2003, Princeton appeared in 14 consecutive NCAA tournaments.[3]
Since 1990, Princeton has won six NCAA national championships and has qualified for 21 of 31 Division I NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournaments. All six championships were won under former head coach Bill Tierney, who coached the team from 1988 to 2009.[4] Tierney also led the Princeton program to two second-place finishes.[5] In 2010, Chris Bates took over as head coach of the Princeton program.[6] In 2010, Princeton won the inaugural Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament.[7][8]
