York is the reigning champion and won for the sixth time in 2025 to become the second-most successful program behind UBC, who have 14 national championships. Alberta and Victoria are the next most successful programs, having won five championships each.[1]

The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Format

The championship features eight teams in single-elimination matches to determine a national champion. The championship hosts 11 games over four days at a predetermined host venue. The host team is automatically qualified for the tournament, as is each of the conference champions, with additional berths awarded for the remaining spots.
