Founded in 1978, and comprised of the some of the top college players from across the country, the New York Collegiate Baseball League is one of the nation's premier Summer Collegiate Baseball leagues. Sanctioned by the NCAA, and partially funded by Major League Baseball as a player development league, all NYCBL players are NCAA eligible and are unpaid in order to maintain their eligibility. It was formerly known as the Northeastern Collegiate Baseball League. After the 2010 season seven teams left the league to create the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.

Each team is operated in a similar manner to a professional minor league team, providing players an opportunity to play under the same conditions using wooden bats, minor league specification baseballs, experiencing overnight road trips and playing nightly before fans in a stadium. The league is part of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball.
