The 2009 CIS Men's University Cup Hockey Tournament (47th Annual) was held March 26–29, 2009. It was the first year of a two-year CIS Championship bid by Lakehead University{{cite web |title=Lakehead University Wins CIS Bid to Host 2009 & 2010 Hockey Championships |publisher=Lakehead University |url=https://www.lakeheadu.ca/about/news-and-events/news/archive/2006/node/13453}} and was hosted at Fort William Gardens hockey rink.

Similar to previous years, going back to the introduction of the expanded format in 1998, the six invited teams were split into two pools of three in which each team played the other (two games total). The best team in each pool advanced to the final. All pool games had to be decided by a win; there were no ties. If a pool had a three-way tie for 1st (all teams had 1–1 records) than goals for/goals against differential among the tied teams was the first tie-breaker.

The UNB Varsity Reds advanced to the finals for the third straight year and won their second title in two years, having won in 2007 in Moncton.

University Cup

The six teams that advanced to the tournament are listed below. The wild-card team was selected from the AUS Conference as the CW was provided the wild-card in 2008 and OUA teams were ineligible as they were the host conference. With Lakehead losing in the first round of the playoffs, they were a natural 'host' and are the 6th seed.

Ranking was based on the last Top 10 media release for the season, February 17, well before the end of the playoffs. The Ranking Committee provided the Tournament Committee with a 6-team mini-ranking prior to the tournament, which was then used for seeding. As this was not a 'formal' Top 10, it was not released to the media leaving the February 17 ranking as the last and most recent Top 10.
