The NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships for individuals and teams were first officially sponsored in 1963 and have since been held annually.

[1] The NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships is a double-elimination tournament for individuals competing in ten weight classes.

The top eight finishers in each weight class qualify for Division II All-American status.

On March 13, 2020, the NCAA cancelled all of its 2020 wrestling championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This practice was discontinued after Carlton Haselrig of the Pittsburgh–Johnstown Mountain Cats won the Division II heavyweight title and advanced to Division I, where he also won the heavyweight title three years in a row, 1987–89.
