The Ateneo Blue Eagles are the men's collegiate varsity volleyball team of the Ateneo de Manila University. They compete in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
History
The Ateneo Blue Eagles men's volleyball team was formed in 1967. They first played competitive varsity volleyball when they participated in the women's volleyball tournament of the NCAA (Philippines) in Season 43 (1967–68).
After 7 year, Season 51 (1975–76), the Blue Eagles won their first NCAA men's volleyball championship. In Season 52 (1976–1977), they won their second NCAA volleyball championship title and first back-to-back championship title.
They were unable to defend their title in the NCAA because Ateneo de Manila transferred to the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) in 1978. The team did not win a championship for the next 37 years. These titles are won by Blue Eagles UAAP Season 77 (2014–2015), UAAP Season 78 (2015–2016),UAAP Season 79 (2016–2017).
