The New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association(NEISA) is one of the seven conferences affiliated with the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) that schedule and administer regattas within their established geographic regions.

NEISA organizes and regulates intercollegiate sailing in New England, which includes 57 member schools including club teams and varsity programs.

The New England Schools Sailing Association is unrelated and is a sailing association for high schools.

History
The New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts on March 26th, 1949. This group of initially 21 teams joined with the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, and later the Midwest College Sailing Association and Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association to form the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association of North America. This Association worked to standardize rules and create entry and eligibility regulations, as well as broaden the scope of its competitions.

Leadership
NEISA is a largely run and regulated by in-conference coaches and sailors. As of Spring, 2017 the Executive Committee was as follows.

Results and Rankings
Since 2008, Inter-collegiate racing results are documented using College Sailing Techscore, a website which records live race results for current regattas, as well as documents past seasons. NEISA also creates in-conference team rankings every Fall based on the best regatta results of each team and the relative difficulty/ size of the regattas those results came from. Teams that are not listed on the rankings did not sail a scored regatta during that Season.
