The championships provide for a 43-team tournament. Automatic qualification (AQ) is granted to 34 conference champions, which form "Pool A." Four teams are selected from true independents and schools from conferences that do not have an automatic bid for their champions (Pool B). The remaining five teams are selected from those teams in conferences with automatic bids that did not win their conference's AQ and the remaining Pool B institutions (Pool C). The teams are geographically paired, whenever possible.
Amherst is the defending national champion, having defeated Claremont-M-S, 5-3, to claim the team title.
