The 1975 NCAA Division I baseball season, play of college baseball in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) began in the spring of 1975. The season progressed through the regular season and concluded with the 1975 College World Series. The College World Series, held for the 29th time in 1975, consisted of one team from each of eight regional competitions and was held in Omaha, Nebraska at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium as a double-elimination tournament. Texas claimed the championship for the third time.^[1]
