The 1994 Colonial Athletic Association baseball tournament was held at Bud Metheny Baseball Complex on the campus of Old Dominion in Norfolk, Virginia, from May 18 through 22. The event determined the champion of the Colonial Athletic Association for the 1994 season. Top-seeded Old Dominion won the tournament for the first time and earned the CAA's automatic bid to the 1994 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
Entering the event, East Carolina had won the most championships, with five. George Mason had won two and Richmond had won once.[2]
