The New Hampshire Wildcats men’s soccer team represents the University of New Hampshire in all NCAA Division I men’s college soccer competitions. The Wildcats play in the America East Conference. They play in Wildcat Stadium in Durham, New Hampshire.

New Hampshire has six America East regular-season titles (2009, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023), and eight NCAA tournament appearances (1994, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023).[2]

The Wildcats saw a surge to the top under the guidance of head coach Marc Hubbard which has gained them both regional and national recognition. He helped UNH secure four regular-season conference titles, 4 conference tournament titles, and six NCAA tournaments during his eight-year tenure. Following the 2023 season, Hubbard announced he would be leaving the program. On January 4, 2024, it was announced that Rich Weinrebe would become UNH’s 12th men’s soccer head coach.[3]

In recent years, the Wildcats have developed a rivalry with fellow America East member Vermont. The all-time record between the teams lies at 38–20–20 in favor of Vermont, and both teams regularly compete for the America East title.[4]

Postseason

NCAA Tournament

New Hampshire has appeared in eight NCAA tournaments. They first appeared in the tournament in 1994. They did not return to the national stage until 2017, achieving automatic qualification following their America East Conference tournament win. Their deepest runs into the tournament were in 2017, 2021, and 2023 when they reached the third round before losing to Indiana, Oregon State, and Clemson, respectively.[7]

America East Conference Tournament

New Hampshire secured their first-ever America East conference tournament title in 2018 as they routed No. 5 UMBC 5–0 in the championship. This win kicked off a string of three consecutive America East tournament championships in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In 2019, the Wildcats came in as the No. 1 seed and got by No. 3 Hartford 1–0 to clinch the title. In the 2020 season (partially played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), UNH again came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed and held off No. 2 seeded Vermont 2–0 to complete the ‘three-peat’. After a loss to Vermont in 2021, the Wildcats captured their fourth America East championship in five years after defeating Albany 2–0 in the 2022 championship game.
