The 2009 Virginia Cavaliers men's soccer team represented the University of Virginia during the 2009 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. It was the Cavaliers' 69th season fielding a men's varsity soccer program, and the program's 56th season playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Cavaliers had one of their most successful seasons in program history, winning both the ACC Men's Soccer Tournament, and the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament. The Cavs won their first ACC Tournament title since 2004, and their first NCAA Tournament title since 1994. It was head coach George Gelnovatch's first year winning the NCAA title. Altogether, it was the Cavs' sixth national championship season. Additionally, the Cavs won the minor early season Portland/Nike Invitational. The Cavaliers also finish first in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings for the first time since 1994.^[2]

Background
