The Iowa Hawkeyes have won more Big Ten team championships than any other school with 37 titles, their most recent coming in 2021. [1] Under head coach Pat Wright, Iowa won its first title in 1915 at the Western Intercollegiate Wrestling, Gymnastics, and Fencing Association Invitational, an open meet that determined Big Ten champions until 1921. Under head coaches Gary Kurdelmeier and Dan Gable, Iowa set the record for the longest streak of consecutive titles with 27 from 1974 through 1998. During that time, Gable set the record for most titles by a coach with 21. [2]

The Iowa Hawkeyes also have the most NCAA team championships by a Big Ten school with 24 titles. Under Gable, Iowa set a record by winning nine straight NCAA titles from 1978 through 1986. Gable also set the record for the most NCAA titles won by a head coach with 15. [3]

The Big Ten Conference has won a record 41 NCAA team championships, including 17 straight titles since 2007.
