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.

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.
