Squash is one of Trinity College's top-performing teams, recruiting athletes at the international level. 

Trinity College's first squash court was built with the completion of [[trowbridge_pool_squash_facility|Trowbridge Memorial Pool and Squash Facility]] in 1931 and a team was organized the following year. Despite being a small college, Trinity has received national attention for its winning streak in men's squash, winning 252 matches from February 1998 to January 2012. The head men’s squash coach, Paul Assaiante, became the winningest college coach in history. 

Trinity's women's squash team first competed at the National Women's Squash Championship in 1979 under coach Roy Dath. The team won College Squash Association (CSA) national titles in 2002, 2003, and 2014.

A new [[george_a._kellner_squash_courts|squash complex]] opened on campus in 1992, located in the [[ferris_athletic_center|Ferris Athletic Center]]. Squash athletes, called Capital Squash, also volunteer in urban spaces, introducing squash to students from [[hartford|Hartford]] schools.
