The New Hampshire Wildcats, or 'Cats, are the American intercollegiate athletic teams representing the University of New Hampshire (UNH), located in Durham.[2] The wildcat is the school's official mascot, the colors are UNH Blue and white. The University of New Hampshire competes at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level as a full member of the America East Conference, and sponsors teams in seven men's, eleven women's and one coed NCAA sanctioned sports. However, the men's and women's hockey teams are members of Hockey East, the gymnastics team is a member of the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL),[3] and the ski team is a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA).[4] The football team plays as an associate member of the Coastal Athletic Association[5] in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, the second tier of Division I formerly known as Division I-AA.

The Wildcats won an NCAA national championship in 1985 (women's lacrosse) and the American Women's College Hockey Alliance national title in 1998 (women's ice hockey, pre-NCAA).
