The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame & Museum is a non-profit organization founded in 1966 by eight Miami-Dade County Circuit Court judges, all University of Miami alumni.
The founders wanted to establish an organization that would recognize those student-athletes, coaches and administrators who excelled at their sport and brought acclaim to the university through their achievements and championships. With the addition of the Class of 2026, only 382 honorees have been inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum in the University’s 100-year history.
