Maryland–Virginia lacrosse rivalry
The Maryland–Virginia lacrosse rivalry (or Virginia–Maryland lacrosse rivalry) is an intercollegiate lacrosse rivalry between the Virginia Cavaliers and Maryland Terrapins. The teams first met in 1926 and have met 93 times, the second-most for UVA and third-most for UMD against any opponent. The two are some of the most historically successful intercollegiate programs, combining for twenty-one national titles, ten of which have come in the NCAA era. The Cavaliers and Terrapins were league foes in the Atlantic Coast Conference from 1954 to 2014, before Maryland joined the Big Ten the following year. The teams ceased their annual matchup until a meeting five years later in the 2019 NCAA Lacrosse Championship, won by Virginia on the way to their sixth NCAA championship.

These rivals have met twice to decide national titles, with Virginia winning their fifth and seventh NCAA championships (in 2011 and in 2021) over Maryland in hotly contested title matches. They had previously met once in the semifinals, in 2003, with the Cavaliers defeating the Terps en route to Virginia's third NCAA championship.

Maryland leads the all-time series 47–46 through 2021, but Virginia has held the upper hand, 38–18, since 1980.
