Nassau Championship Champions
Full list of Nassau Championship champions, including head coach, by year. The Nassau Championship – formerly know as the The Islands of the Bahamas Classic – is an early season Division I men’s college basketball tournament that has taken place annually in November since 2017. Eight mid- and low-major programs meet in the Bahamas to play a tournament and crown a champion. Teams that lose go into a consolation bracket, so every team is guaranteed to play in three games. The tournament is hosted at Kendall Isaacs National Gymnasium in Nassau, Bahamas.
Not to be confused with the Battle 4 Atlantis or Bahamas Championship, also held in the Bahamas.
