The HI dataset of the blind wide-field HI Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey (ALFALFA, Giovanelli et al. 2007; Kent et al. 2008, 2009) includes coverage of the Virgo Cluster at 16.7 Mpc. The data comprise the largest sample of HI selected galaxies in Virgo. The sample of detections for this study complements other regions of varying density that the survey is observing. In addition to many HI-deficient late-type galaxies that inhabit the periphery of the cluster, detections of low-mass tidal debris clouds throughout the cluster have been made near the survey mass limit at the Virgo distance (log(MHI)=7.3). I will discuss the HI content of the galaxies in the cluster, the HI mass function for the sample of member galaxies, and various physical properties as a function of galaxy morphology.
