Fencing history

click here for fencing scholarship facts

The NCAA conducted the first fencing championships at Northwestern University in 1941. In addition to individual championships for men in foils, epee, and sabre, there were team weapons championships, which determined the winner of the overall team championship.

 

The National Fencing Coaches Association (NFCA) of America was formed in 1948. In 1951 the NCAA championship results were used to select an All-American team. Awards were made retroactive to 1941.

Women's fencing was added as a separate sport in 1982, with individual competition only in foils, along with a team championship.

Since 1990, there has been a single fencing championship meet, with the team championship based on combined men's and women's events. Women's epee was added in 1995 and the women's sabre competition was added in 2000. The meet usually takes place in mid to late March.
