The 2009 America East Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 21-23 at Pete Sylvester Field in Endicott, New York. The top four regular season finishers of the league's seven teams qualified for the double-elimination tournament. In the championship game, first-seeded Binghamton defeated second-seeded Albany, 16-6, to win its first tournament championship. As a result, Binghamton received the America East's automatic bid to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, the program's first.
The top four finishers from the regular season were seeded one through four based on conference winning percentage only. They then played in a double-elimination format. In the first round, the one and four seeds were matched up in one game, while the two and three seeds were matched up in the other.
The following players were named to the All-Tournament Team.
