The 1975 NCAA men's volleyball tournament was the sixth annual tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA men's college volleyball. The tournament was played at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California.
UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara, 3–1 (15–9, 7–15, 15–9, 15–10), to win their fifth national title. This was a rematch of the 1971 and 1974 title matches, both won by UCLA.
UCLA's John Bekins was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
Qualification
Until the creation of the NCAA Men's Division III Volleyball Championship in 2012, there was only a single national championship for men's volleyball. As such, all NCAA men's volleyball programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible. A total of 4 teams were invited to contest this championship.
