Four teams earned automatic qualifying bids by winning their conference championships, making up Pool A:
- Liberty League: Ithaca
- Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference: St. Mary’s College of Maryland
- New England Small College Athletic Conference: Tufts
- New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference: Smith
Following the completion of the regular season, four more teams were selected from Pool B/C, which includes “independents, institutions from conferences that do not meet automatic-qualification standards and those Pool A institutions that do not receive their conference’s automatic qualification,” according to the 2024 NCAA Pre-Championship Manual. Additionally, each of the four regions, Mid-Atlantic, New England, New York, and Pacific, must be represented at the championships via an automatic-qualifier or the top-ranked team in the region.
Those four additional teams, announced on May 14th via the selection show, are:
- Puget Sound
- Trinity (Connecticut)
- Wesleyan (Connecticut)
- Williams
