Queens University of Charlotte

The Queens University of Charlotte Royals embody a culture of dynastic success, a bold new chapter of growth, and the royal spirit of their home in the Queen City, Charlotte, North Carolina. After establishing itself as one of the nation's most dominant and well-rounded Division II athletic departments—consistently finishing in the top 10 of the Learfield Directors' Cup—Queens embarked on its ambitious transition to Division I and the ASUN Conference in 2022. The university's athletic identity is defined by its swimming and diving program, which created one of the most incredible dynasties in NCAA history by winning a combined 14 consecutive Division II National Championships between its men's and women's teams. This championship standard extended across the board, with nationally-ranked programs in lacrosse and a multi-time national champion women's triathlon team creating a deep culture of victory. Now, the Royals are focused on translating that championship DNA to the Division I level, aiming to build a new legacy of success in the ASUN. The Queens Royals represent a program forged by the highest standards of achievement, a new and ambitious force ready to build its next great legacy in Division I.
