The program was established in 1928 and has made the NCAA Championship twice, most recently in 2011. Five Cornhuskers have won conference championships, and seventeen have been named all-conference selections. In 1989, Steven Jung was the NCAA Singles runner-up and was named NU's first All-American.[2] Jung is the only men's tennis player in the Nebraska Athletic Hall of Fame.[3]

Assistant Peter Kobelt was named interim head coach of the program following the departure of Sean Maymi in 2023.[4][5]
