The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) is an NCAA Division II athletic conference that administers softball competition for its member institutions. The conference’s 2026 championship included the top four teams from each of its Northern and Southern Divisions. The eight-team event was played in a double-elimination format at Orangeburg Recreation Park in South Carolina. The tournament champion receives the CIAA’s automatic berth to the NCAA Division II Regional Tournament, and the conference also publishes all-conference and postseason honours.
