The National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) is a non-profit college sports organization that organizes boxing fights for student athletes. The association falls under the auspices of USA Boxing. After 1960, the NCAA no longer sanctioned boxing. In response, the NCBA was founded in 1976.

NCBA member schools are encouraged to develop their instructional and intramural programs with emphasis on the teaching of fundamental novice boxing skills. In order to be eligible to participate in an NCBA member school, a collegiate boxer must be a full-time student at an accredited institution at which he/she is attending for graduation.

Participating schools

Participating schools are divided into three sub-associations, by region:

Eastern Collegiate Boxing Association

Hartford, CT

Formerly

Midwest Collegiate Boxing Association

Far West Collegiate Boxing Association

National tournament[3]

Contestants for the national tournament are decided by a regional tournament for each NCBA region, with the first- and second-place boxer from each weight class in each region advancing to the national tournament. It is possible for a boxer to advance to nationals by walkover if they have no opponent.

At nationals, the team scoring is conducted as follows:

  • Each team automatically receives 1 point.
  • Each boxer who wins a quarterfinal match earns 1 point for their team.
  • Each boxer who wins a semi-final match earns 3 points for their team.
  • Each boxer who wins a final match earns 5 points for their team.
