The NECC men's basketball tournament was the annual conference basketball championship tournament for the NCAA Division III New England Collegiate Conference. The tournament was held annually from 2009 to 2023, when the NECC ceased to exist as an all-sports conference after the departure of its final four members.
It was a single-elimination tournament and seeding was based on regular season records.[1]
The winner received the NECC's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Division III Basketball Championship.
