# Campeonato nacional de fútbol masculino de la División I de la NCAA

El Campeonato nacional de fútbol masculino de la División I de la NCAA es la competición postemporada que disputan cada año los mejores equipos de fútbol masculino de la División I de la NCAA. Es la máxima competición de fútbol universitario en los Estados Unidos de América.
Las semifinales y final se conocen también como College Cup.

## Formato

El Campeonato nacional de fútbol de la División I de la NCAA es un torneo de 48 equipos por eliminatorias a partido único.
22 equipos se clasifican tras proclamarse campeones de sus respectivas conferencias. Dependiendo de cada conferencia, los campeones se deciden tras un torneo, o bien por los puntos conseguidos en la liga regular entre sus equipos. Las 22 conferencias que otorgan este derecho a sus campeones son:
* America East Conference
* American Athletic Conference
* Atlantic Coast Conference
* Atlantic Sun Conference
* Atlantic 10 Conference
* Big East Conference
* Big South Conference
* Big Ten Conference
* Big West Conference
* Coastal Athletic Association
* Horizon League
* Ivy League
* Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
* Missouri Valley Conference
* Northeast Conference
* Ohio Valley Conference
* Patriot League
* Southern Conference
* Sun Belt Conference
* The Summit League
* West Coast Conference
* Western Athletic Conference
Los 26 equipos restantes se clasifican por invitación (at-large bids) de la NCAA. La decisión se toma por un comité con representantes de las ocho regiones que componen la NCAA, que utilizan varios criterios, siendo el más importante el Rating Percentage Index (RPI), utilizado también para el torneo de baloncesto, y que se basa en una fórmula matemática diseñada para medir los calendarios y los resultados de cada equipo en la liga regular.
16 equipos pasan directamente a la segunda ronda, mientras que los otros 32 se enfrentan siguiendo criterios de proximidad geográfica en el campo del más fuerte.
Las semifinales y final (College Cup) se disputan en una sede neutral única.

## Historia

El torneo se disputa desde 1959, cuando compitieron ocho equipos.
