The 1974 NCAA Division II Lacrosse Championship was the first annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champions of NCAA Division II men's college lacrosse in the United States. That year's championship game was played at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex at SUNY Cortland in Cortland, New York.[1]
Three editions of the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Championship were contested before a separate championship was established for Division II programs. In addition, two USILA "small college" tournaments were held in 1972 and 1973.
Towson State defeated Hobart in the final, 18−17 (in double overtime), to win their first national title.
