The Virginia Cavaliers football team represents the University of Virginia in the sport of American football. Established in 1887, Virginia plays its home games at Scott Stadium, capacity 61,500, which sits directly adjacent to the World Heritage Site portion of its campus featuring the historic Academical Village. UVA played an outsized role in the shaping of the modern game's ethics and eligibility rules, as well as its safety rules after a Georgia Bulldogs fullback died during a 17–4 Virginia victory in 1897.
Quickly asserting itself as the South's first great program with 28 straight winning seasons after its first in 1887, Virginia football won 12 Southern championships in 20 seasons and became the first Southern program to defeat 26-time national champions Yale, 10–0, at the Yale Bowl in 1915. James Howell Power Ratings retroactively found UVA to be the national champions for 1915. Virginia does not officially claim the title but other notable programs have claimed national titles for these early years of college football using Howell's ratings.
