It is the 78th MAC Wrestling Championship dating back to the first championship in 1936. There was no championship from 1944-46 due to World War II, and from 2007-13 the MAC did not sponsor wrestling. The 2019 (Winter Storm Harper) and 2021 (COVID-19) championship were both canceled.
Delaware Valley leads all current and former conference members with 15 conference wrestling team titles each. The Aggies won four-straight (2002-06) titles. The only other team to claim that many consecutive titles was former MAC member Gettysburg College from 1949-55. Delaware Valley leads all schools with 112 individual MAC titles, while Messiah has 44 and King's has 19. Predicted champions, Alvernia, have claimed four individual titles
