The Dartmouth Big Green men's soccer program represents the Dartmouth College in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. Founded in 1915, the Big Green compete in the Ivy League. The Big Green are coached by Bo Oshoniyi, who has coached the program since 2018. The Big Green plays their home matches at Burnham Field, on the Dartmouth campus.
Dartmouth's soccer origins can be traced to the Old division football, a medieval football game played from the 1820s to around 1890 by Dartmouth students. The game involved unlimited sides made up variously of the members of the two literary societies on campus. Every year a special match sometimes called the "Usual Game of Foot Ball" occurred early in the fall in which the sophomores took on the freshmen.
The university fielded its first soccer team in 1915, achieving a 1âÂÂ1âÂÂ0 record. Dartmouth participated in the national championships organised by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association (ISFA), the predecessor national soccer championship to the NCAA soccer tournament.
The team won its first Ivy League championship in 1964, with a 5âÂÂ2âÂÂ0 record. As conference champions, Dartmouth earned their place at the 1964 NCAA soccer tournament, but lost in first round v Trinity 2âÂÂ1.
