The Universitys athletics teams compete in the intercollegiate sport and represent the University in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The official Hurricanes colors are orange, green and white – they dipict the colors of orange tree. Their mascot is Sebastian the Ibis. The team has decided the ibis to be its mascot because it is the animal, which is considered to be the last escaping from a hurricane and the first making its appearance again, when the hurricane ends. Thus, it presents such qualities as courage and leadership.

The University of Miami has 15 sports teams, which take part in the competitions – 7 mens teams in football, baseball, basketball, cross-country, diving, tennis, and track and field; and 8 womens sports teams in basketball, cross-country, diving, golf, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. The most successful teams are the Hurricanes footballers, baseballers and basketballers.

The Universitys football team is believed to be the most successful Division I football team. It has become Division I champion 5 times. The Hurricanes scored the championships in 1983, 1987, 1989, 1991 and the most recent in 2001. They have also set the NCAA record of 58 home winning games over 9-year period, which hasnt been beaten yet. By the way, the Hurricanes footballers have won 55 individual national titles.

The Hurricanes baseball team has also made great strides. They made the CollegeWorld Series 21 times and become the national champions four times. For more than 30 years the Hurricanes baseballers have remained the dominant college baseball team.

The Hurricanes mens basketball team has also made history in the college basketball championships. In the 1970s and the 1980s the team had a lot of difficulties, caused by financial problems. The Hurricanes didnt manage to achieve anything notable this period. But everything has turned for the better, when a new coach Leonard Hamilton was employed. They have started to play in the Big East. By the end of the 1990s the Hurricanes had become one of the best teams in the Big East – they had made the NCAA games three years in succession (1998, 1999, 2000). From 2000 to 2004, after Hamilton had left the Hurricanes for the NBA's Washington Wizards, they had another downturn. The last two seasons, after Petty Clarks (its former coach) replacement, are proved to be another turning point. During the last two seasons the Hurricanes have made headway in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
