UCA Division I-A College National Championship explained

The Universal Cheerleaders Association Division I-A College Championships were first introduced in 1978 on CBS Sports. Top cheerleading teams from colleges across the U.S. and foreign countries perform routines consisting of gymnastics, partner stunts, dance moves, pyramids and high-tosses called basket tosses. The championship is split into large co-ed, small co-ed and all-girl divisions. The University of Kentucky has won the most large co-ed championships with 25 national titles, Hofstra University has won the most small co-ed championships with 10, and Indiana University has won the most all-girl titles with six.[1]

The University of Central Florida won the most recent co-ed event in 2024, winning their fourth title. The 2024 all-girl competition was won by University of South Florida, their first ever title.[2] Only four teams have ever won consecutive championships in UCA Division I-A history. The University of Kentucky has done it five times. The Wildcats first accomplished this in 1987-1988 and, most recently, from 2016 to 2019. The other cheerleading squads to achieve consecutive championships are the University of South Florida (2021-2023), NC State (1990-1991) and Ohio State University (1981-1983). Alabama and South Florida are the only schools to win both the large co-ed and all girl divisions. The competition is run by Varsity Spirit.
