The 1950 NCAA gymnastics championships were contested at the eighth annual National Collegiate Athletic Association-sanctioned men's gymnastics championships to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate gymnastics among its member programs in the United States.
The championships were hosted by the United States Military Academy at Gillis Field House in West Point, New York.
Defending champions Temple were bested by Charlie Pond-led Illinois. It was Illinois' fifth team championship.
For the second consecutive year, the individual all-around championship was won by Joe Kotys from Kent State.
Team results
The table below reflects the official NCAA record books. However, newspaper recaps of the event reported 15 total teams with additional participation from Colorado who reportedly scored 0 points. Additionally, a report had slightly differing scores and placements including Michigan scoring 15 points, which would place them 5th and elevate Michigan State to 4th, California and Penn State scoring 6 points each, which would result in a three-way tie for 10th place, and Chicago scoring 0 points, which would elevate Minnesota to 13th place and have Chicago in a 14th place tie with Colorado. Finally, Iowa State is a listed participant, but instead the team was Iowa, known as "State University of Iowa".
