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.

The tournament also included teams from Division II between 1984 and 1991 due to a lack of programs in that division; the NCAA Division II Field Hockey Championship resumed in 1992.

The most successful team is The College of New Jersey, with 11 titles. Middlebury are the six-time defending champions, defeating Johns Hopkins in the 2023 final, 2–0.

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. The semifinal and championship rounds are held at a pre-determined site. The 2017 finals were hosted in Louisville, Kentucky by the University of Louisville.
