The NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship is an annual men's college tennis national collegiate championship sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for teams in Division I. The tournament crowns a team, individual, and doubles champion. Held every year since 1883, the championship is typically contested in May, and–in recent years–has been held at the same location as the NCAA women's Division I tournaments.

In 1977, a dual-match, single-elimination team championship was initiated, eliminating the points system. • Starting in 2024, individual tournaments for singles/doubles were held in the fall, with team championships in the spring. ==Team titles==
Appearances by team
Before 1977, there was no separate team tournament. The national championship was determined by adding up results in the singles and doubles tournaments. Because detailed year-by-year results are not currently available (''for example, the NCAA Men's Tennis Record Book only shows results for 1977 to present'' ), this table shows results only from the team brackets from 1977 to present. Total columns • School refers to the current name and branding of the tennis team. • Conference shows where the school as of the 2025 season. • Total appearances in the NCAA Tournament since 1977, not counting vacated appearances. • Total appearances in the top 16 of the tournament • Total appearances in the quarterfinals • Total appearances in the semifinals • Total appearances in the championship match • National championships Table entries • National champion • National runner-up • Semifinals • Quarterfinals • Round of 16 • Round of 32 (1999 to present) • Round of 20 (1987 to 1993) • Round of 64 (1999 to present) • From 1996 to 1998, eight teams were selected to advance directly to the round of 16, while all other teams were placed into regional tournaments to determine the other eight teams. • Regional finals • Regional semifinals • Regional quarterfinals • South Alabama's participation in the 2001 and 2002 tournaments was vacated by the NCAA.

Since 1999, the top 16 teams have been seeded 1 through 16, and the seeds are marked in superscript. ==See also==
