The Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) holds National Championships in seven different categories:

• Coed Dinghy
• Women’s Dinghy
• Team Racing
• Women's Team Racing
• Men’s Singlehanded
• Women’s Singlehanded
• Match Racing (previously Sloop)

The college team that compiles the best overall record in the six categories is awarded the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy.

Teams must qualify for the National Championships through conference championships. All regattas are scored low-point with no throw-out races. Racing is done on short courses. Boats are usually rotated each race so that each team sails each boat in the fleet once.

The ICSA National Championships rotate amongst ICSA's seven different conferences each year.

Since college sailing is a fall and spring sport, three of these championships are held in the fall and four are held in the spring.^[1]
