The NCAA Division II men's tennis championship (formerly the NCAA College Division tennis championships) is contested at the annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the team national champion of men's collegiate tennis among its Division II member programs in the United States and Canada. It has been held annually since 1963. ^[1]

Unlike the men's tennis championships for Division I and Division III, this tournament crowns only a team champion (individual and doubles titles were contested from 1963 to 1994 before being discontinued).

Lander are the most successful program, with eight national titles.

Valdosta State are the current champions, winning their fourth national title in 2025.

History

The championship first began in 1963 as the NCAA College Division Men's Tennis Championship for smaller colleges and universities not in the larger University Division (the precursor to the current Division I). The tournament gained its current name when the NCAA introduced its three-division structure in 1973–74. The national championship rounds are contested annually in May.
