The NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship is the annual championship in men's lacrosse held by the NCAA for teams competing in Division III.
After the inauguration of the NCAA Division I championship in 1971, the USILA added a "small college" tournament for two years. Hobart defeated Washington College 15-12 to win the 1972 USILA title. And Cortland State beat Washington College to win the 1973 title, 13-8.[1]
The NCAA conducted a combined Division II and III tournament for the 1974 through 1979 seasons, followed by separate tournaments for Division II and Division III beginning in 1980.[2]
Hobart and Salisbury have been the most successful teams at the Division III level, winning thirteen titles each. Hobart, however, has since departed for Division I.
Tufts is the defending national champion, winning their 4th national title in 2024.
