Football

The Laval Rouge et Or football team began its first regular season in 1996 and has quickly become one of the most successful programs in U Sports history. The Rouge et Or have won a record twelve Vanier Cup championships and their most recent victory occurred at the 59th Vanier Cup in 2024. They are also the only program to have played in four straight Vanier Cups. The team has also won the Dunsmore Cup 15 times since 1999, demonstrating their historical dominance in their conference.

Former teams

Men's ice hockey

Laval's first team was fielded immediately after World War II, playing a handful of games in the Senior Intercollegiate League. The circuit included four teams that were outside the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, the main conference for Canadian college hockey. Unfortunately, the league did not prove to be successful and was abandoned after just one year. Five years later, Laval returned to the ice as a member of the CIAU, joining its former sister school, Montreal.
The program proved to be too costly for the university to continue to operate and the team was shuttered after a 2nd-place finish in 1983.
