The NCAC men's cross country championships are the cross country conference championships for the NCAA Division III North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). The championship race is contested over 8,000 meters.[1] The winning team is determined by typical cross country scoring: the top five runners from each team score, and the team with the lowest score wins.

Historically, Allegheny College is the most successful program, having won 13 conference titles while in the NCAC. (Allegheny left the NCAC for the President's Athletic Conference after the 2021-22 Academic Year.[2])

Unlike in other sports, the conference-winning team does not automatically advance to the NCAA championships. Instead, teams must compete for national bids at the regional championships, typically held two weeks later.[3] All NCAC schools compete in the Great Lakes Regional.[4]
