The NAIA Men's Basketball National Championship has been held yearly since 1937, when it was established by James Naismith, to crown a national champion for smaller colleges and universities. Unlike the NCAA Division I Men's Tournament, which mainly features larger university and colleges, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Tournament only features 32 teams, and the entire tournament is completed in one week, instead of three weekends.

Since 1992, the NAIA has sponsored a Division II championship, similar to the NCAA Division I and II.
