The America East men's soccer tournament (formerly known as the North Atlantic Conference championship) is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the America East Conference. The tournament has been held every year since 1988. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer championship.
On December 16th 2024, the University of Vermont Catamounts team defeated the Marshall University Thundering Herd in the NCAA tournament championship game to claim the 2024 College Cup. This marked the first national championship by any America East Conference team in league history. Vermont also stands as the most winning conference team with eight tournaments won.
