As of the upcoming 2023 season, the Bulldogs will compete in the America East Conference (AmEast), which Bryant will officially join on July 1, 2022. Bryant plays its home games at Beirne Stadium on its campus in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

Bryant completed a 12-season tenure in the Northeast Conference (NEC) in 2022, after which it moved its entire athletic program to the America East. Before becoming a full member of the NEC in 2008, Bryant had been a member of the NCAA Division II Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10).
The team joined NCAA Division I as an independent for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. The NEC first sponsored men's lacrosse for the 2011 season.
Every season since 2010, Bryant has played Brown and Providence for the Ocean State Cup. Bryant won the Cup in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2021, 2023, and 2024.
NCAAs
In 2013, Bryant made their first NCAA Tournament appearance,[1] losing 12–7 to Syracuse. That season, Bryant also managed to capture the NEC Conference Regular Season Championship, as well as the NEC Tournament, which earned them an automatic bid.
A season later, in 2014, Bryant made their second tournament appearance after again winning the NEC Tournament. After defeating Siena 9–8 in a play-in game, they faced Syracuse for the second time and managed to avenge their loss of the previous year, pulling off a first round 10–9 upset.[2]
