The 2014 Virginia Cavaliers men's soccer team was the college's 74th season of playing organized men's college soccer, and their 62nd season playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
After a mediocre season in ACC conference play and a quarterfinal exit from the ACC Men's Soccer Tournament, the Cavaliers made a deep run into the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship where they ended up winning their seventh national title, defeating UCLA in penalty kicks.
