Johns Hopkins–Virginia lacrosse rivalry
The Johns Hopkins–Virginia lacrosse rivalry is an intercollegiate lacrosse rivalry between the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays and Virginia Cavaliers. The teams compete for the Doyle Smith Cup, which was first awarded in 2006. Edward Doyle Smith Jr., the only inductee to the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame to have never competed in the sport, was a team manager and statistician at Johns Hopkins for five years before becoming UVA's first assistant sports information director, which he held for 31 seasons. Smith is also credited with the standardization of game statistics for lacrosse at the national level, twice receiving the USILA Man of the Year Award.

The rivalry features two of the three most dominant programs in lacrosse history, with the Jays and Cavaliers winning nine and seven national titles respectively since the creation of the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship. The series has contained 16 NCAA postseason matchups, with Hopkins leading those matches 10–6. An annual fixture from 1948 to 2019, Johns Hopkins leads the series 61–32–1 through 2019 thanks largely to its early dominance, but Virginia has held the upper hand, 20–13, since 1994. 

These rivals have met three times to decide national titles, with the Cavaliers defeating the Blue Jays for their first and third NCAA championships (in 1972 and in 2003) in hotly contested matches, and Johns Hopkins narrowly defeating Virginia in 1980 (in two overtimes) for their third consecutive and fourth overall NCAA championship.
