About this book

Arguably the most famous Navy team was the 1910 outfit, which went undefeated without being scored on, compiling an aggregate score of 99-0 over 9 games. Sixteen years later, the 1926 team were selected as National Champions after new coach Bill Ingram guided them to an unbeaten season. The Midshipmen reached their first-ever conference championship games in 2016, ultimately losing to Temple. In the 1960s Navy had two Heisman Trophy winners: Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach.

2015 was a landmark year in the history of the United States Naval Academy football team; after 136 years of playing independently, the Midshipmen joined the American Athletic Conference, finishing the season with the joint-best record for good measure. Only two college teams have played more games of football than Navy, and now, with our new Navy Football history book, you can relive some of the Midshipmen’s greatest encounters, in Annapolis and beyond, beginning in 1926.

Relive the latest seasons including the 2024 Armed Forces Bowl win against Oklahoma.

The College Football History of Navy Midshipmen Washington Post Edition FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
