NCAA Division III field hockey tournament


The NCAA Division III field hockey tournament is an annual single-elimination tournament conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the national champion of women's Division III collegiate field hockey in the United States. The tournament has been held every year since 1981.
From 1984 to 1991, the tournament also included teams from Division II due to a lack of programs in that division.
The most successful team has been The College of New Jersey, with 11 titles.
Tufts are the defending champions, defeating Johns Hopkins in the 2025 final, 2–1.

Format

Currently, 24 teams compete in each national championship tournament. The first three rounds are played at campus sites on the fields of higher-seeded teams, and the semifinal and championship rounds are held at a pre-determined site.
