DURHAM, N.C. - Duke University has been selected as host sites for the 2023 NCAA Fencing Championship and the 2025 NCAA Field Hockey Championship, as announced by NCAA officials Wednesday. Bids to host the championships were jointly submitted by Duke University and the Durham Sports Commission (DSC).
The NCAA Fencing Championship comes to Durham for the first time since 1966 when Duke hosted the NCAA Men's Championship, while field hockey will host for the first time in program history. The 2023 NCAA Fencing Championship will be contested at Cameron Indoor Stadium, which also will be home to the 2022 ACC Fencing Championships. The 2025 NCAA Field Hockey Championship will be played at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium. Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium is also slated to host the 2020 ACC Field Hockey Championship.
"We are so thrilled to have won the bid for the 2023 NCAA Fencing Championships," fencing head coach Alex Beguinet said. "Duke University has a reputation of hosting great events. Our annual home fencing meet is one of the best collegiate fencing competitions in the country. Our athletic facilities and event staff are among the best nationwide. We feel confident that between Duke and the city of Durham, this event will be amazing!"
"I'm so proud and thrilled to be able to hold a national championship here in Durham," field hockey head coach Pam Bustin said. "Duke provides a great environment for the championship, not only our stadium, but the surrounding community. We couldn't be more proud of our game operations crew, our facility, the city of Durham and everyone involved for making this possible."
"This announcement is huge for both programs and Durham at large, as we know these championship events bring significant economic impact and help drive sports culture in the community," said Susan Amey, president & CEO of Discover Durham, managing partner of the DSC. "We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with Duke and put forth two winning bids."
