  • The James Madison Dukes are the intercollegiate athletics teams that represent James Madison University (JMU), in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The name "Dukes" is derived from Samuel Page Duke, the university's second president. The Dukes play as members of the Sun Belt Conference. JMU was a charter member of the Colonial Athletic Association, which sponsors sports at the NCAA Division I level. In football, JMU participates in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of Division I, formerly known as Division I-A. The Dukes officially left the CAA and joined the Sun Belt Conference in 2022, participating in Division I FBS football and other sports sponsored by the conference. The university mascot, Duke Dog, is frequently seen at all sporting events, and the school colors are royal purple and gold. JMU has won five NCAA national championships, third-most among Virginia colleges and universities, trailing only Virginia (31) and Old Dominion (28). JMU's women's athletics tradition is among the oldest in the nation, dating nearly back to the institution's founding in 1908. Strong intercollegiate programs for women have been in place at the university since the early 1920s, and JMU was among the first of the nation's institutions to provide well-rounded overall intercollegiate offerings for females. Men's athletics began at JMU when it admitted its first men in the late 1940s, and a comprehensive program for men began evolving in the late 1960s when the university became fully coeducational.

Les couleurs de l'école sont le pourpre royal et l'or. Madison a remporté cinq championnats nationaux de la NCAA, le troisième rang parmi les collèges et universités de Virginie. La tradition du sport féminin chez les Dukes est une des plus anciennes du pays puisqu'elle remonte pratiquement à la fondation de l'université en 1908. De solides programmes féminins inter-universitaires sont mis en place au début des années 1920 et l'université est une des premières à proposer des offres féminines inter-universitaires globales bien équilibrées. Le programme sportif masculin débute à la fin des années 1940 et un programme complet masculin commence à prendre forme à la fin des années 1960, lorsque l'université devient totalement mixte. (fr)
