The 1926 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame during the 1926 college football season, led by ninth-year head coach Knute Rockne. The Irish won all but one of their ten games, upset by Carnegie Tech in late November. The team was ranked No. 3 in the nation in the Dickinson System ratings released in December 1926.[1]
The Irish are confirmed to have won green uniforms this season, in the game against Penn State.[2]
