The 2025 NAIA baseball tournament was the 68th edition of the NAIA baseball championship. The 46-team tournament began on May 12 with Opening Round games across ten different sites and concluded with the 2025 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho that started on May 23 and ended a week later on May 30.
LSU-Shreveport won their first national championship in school history as they defeated Southeastern (FL) in the championship game 13–7. Not only did LSU-Shreveport win the national title, they also completed the first undefeated season at any level of college baseball as the Pilots finished the season 59–0.
The 46 participating teams were selected from all eligible NAIA teams. The World Series host and 30 teams were awarded automatic bids as either champions and/or runners-up of their conferences, and 15 teams were selected at-large by the National Selection Committee. Teams were then placed into one of ten pre-determined Opening Round sites, with six sites consisting of five teams and four sites consisting of four teams, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. The winners of each of the Opening Round sites advance to the NAIA World Series.
For the first time since the 2011 tournament, the 10-run rule applied to all tournament games, except championship game(s) if a team is ahead by 10 or more runs after 7 innings (6½ innings if home team is ahead).
Tournament procedure.
A total of 46 teams entered the tournament, with Lewis–Clark State receiving an automatic bid into the Opening Round as World Series host. 30 automatic bids were determined by either winning their conference's regular season championship, conference tournament, and/or conference tournament runner-up. The other 15 bids were at-large, with selections determined by the NAIA Baseball National Selection Committee.
