The popularity of college boxing peaked in 1948, when 55 colleges participated in intercollegiate competition."You could blame it on the moms," Sports Illustrated, March 1 1959.

At the 1960 NCAA Championships Charlie Mohr, a boxer on the University of Wisconsin–Madison team, collapsed with a brain hemorrhage and died one week later.{{Cite news| url = http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/doug_moe/article_4a56a5e8-012c-580d-bde9-21361d66b3a4.html| title = Doug Moe: 50 years ago, UW athlete’s death ended college boxing | date = April 8, 2010 | work = Wisconsin State Journal }}

In 1976, American collegiate boxing was picked up again by the National Collegiate Boxing Association. In 2012, the United States Intercollegiate Boxing Association (USIBA) was formed and hosted the first national championships for women alongside a men's division. The first USIBA Championships were hosted at the University of San Francisco in 2013.

Results

The first year of NCAA sponsorship of the championship was 1932. However, national championships were conducted in 1924–31 as well. Before 1948, NCAA team boxing championships were unofficial because team points were not officially awarded.
