Welcome to Cornell Fencing!

The fencing program at Cornell embodies the university’s culture of belonging, exploration, and excellence. Founded in the 1890s, it grew from a small men’s club into an elite coed varsity program that has had a dominant presence in college fencing for over a century. 

 

Today, Cornell supports a Varsity Women’s team, a Men’s Club team, a coed Recreational club and a class on Olympic Fencing- inviting students of all abilities to train in the ancient sport of fencing.
