The 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament was held from May 19 through May 24 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, North Carolina . The annual tournament determines the conference champion of the Division I Atlantic Coast Conference for college baseball . Florida State won their sixth tournament championship and received the league's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament . This was the last of 19 athletic championship events held by the conference in the 2014–15 academic year.[2] [3] [4]
The tournament has been held every year but one since 1973, with Clemson and Georgia Tech each winning nine championships, the most all-time. Charter league member Duke , along with recent entrants Virginia Tech , Boston College , Pittsburgh and Notre Dame have never won the event. In Louisville 's first season in the ACC in 2015, Louisville had the best regular season record and secured the #1 seed in the conference tournament.
Format and seeding [ ]

Seeds one and two were awarded to the two division winners. The bottom four seeds played an opening round, with the winners advancing to pool play.
