The 1974 CIAU Men's University Cup Hockey Tournament (12th annual) was held at the Varsity Arena in Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto Varsity Blues served as tournament host.
Waterloo Warriors won the first overtime championship game in tournament history. Because sudden death rules were not in place, three goals were scored in extra period.
