Each year, the NCAA Championship determines the top lacrosse team in the NCAA Division I, Division II, and Division III.
The first intercollegiate lacrosse tournament, however, was held in 1881 with Harvard beating Princeton, 3-0 in the championship game. From this point through 1934, collegiate lacrosse associations chose an annual champion based on regular season records. The U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) was reorganized in 1929, and from 1934 through 1970 chose the Wingate Memorial Trophy champion. The National Collegiate Athletic Association held its first national tournament in 1971. The Wingate Memorial Trophy was presented to the first two NCAA champions and was then retired.
