History

Within the first 33 years of Buccaneer Athletics, Barry won 18 national championships. Barry has won 66 SSC titles in 14 different sports since it joined the SSC in 1988. They are the only conference school to hold a league title in all 12 sports that they have sponsored. The Buccaneers have also won the SSC Women's Mayor's Cup All-Sports Trophy on five occasions, in 1990–91, 1996–97, 1999–00, 2001–02 and 2005–06. In 2006–07, the Buccaneer men finally claimed a Mayor's Cup of their own, as none of the five teams finished outside the top three in the conference. The men were co-winners in 2008-09 for their second cup and took their third in 2010–11.

As of the 2019–20 season, Barry has won 22 national championships. Of those, women's soccer, volleyball, men's golf, men's tennis and women's tennis each claimed three titles, while rowing won a brace and women's golf captured their first.

Women's tennis set the program record for a perfect season in 2017, going 30–0.
