These championships are held concurrently with the women's Division III indoor championships and are separate from the men's Division III outdoor championships held during the spring.

Wisconsin–La Crosse have been the most successful program in the events history, with 20 overall team titles.

Wisconsin–La Crosse are also the defending national champions, winning their 20th title in 2024.
