The 2025 Summit League baseball tournament took place from May 21 through 24, 2025. The top four out of the eligible five teams (St. Thomas is ineligible) in the conference's regular season met in the double-elimination tournament held at Tal Anderson Field on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska.[1] North Dakota State won the tournament and earned the Summit League's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. The defending champion was Oral Roberts, who fell short of repeating their title in the tournament finals.
