The 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship was the 50th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national championship for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men's college lacrosse. Because the Ivy League did not participate in lacrosse this season, no play-in game was required. Sixteen teams competed in the tournament based upon their performance during the regular season. For eight teams, entry into the tournament was by means of a conference tournament automatic qualifier and/or play in, while for the remaining eight teams at-large selection was determined by the NCAA selection committee. Virginia took control over a 15–0 Maryland team in the Championship Game, and at one point led 16–11. But Maryland quickly closed that gap throughout the fourth quarter. The Terps had an open shot on goal to tie the game with two seconds left off a face off, but a great save by Alex Rode won the title for UVA. This was Virginia's seventh NCAA lacrosse title.
