The NEWMAC was established in 1998, when the former New England Women's 8 Conference (NEW 8) voted to begin sponsoring conference play and championships for men. At this time, the conference expanded its membership to include Springfield College and the United States Coast Guard Academy.
In March 2012, NEWMAC announced the addition of Emerson College as the 11th full member of the league starting in the 2013–14 academic year. With the addition of Emerson the NEWMAC began re-sponsoring the sport of men's lacrosse, adding an affiliate member, Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In July 2012, the conference welcomed Simmons College as an affiliate member to compete in the sport of rowing.
In February 2022, the Landmark Conference announced that it would begin sponsoring football starting in the 2023–24 season, thus football affiliate, the Catholic University of America, will depart after the 2022–23 season.[5]

1998 - The NEW-8 offered men's sports and was rebranded as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), beginning the 1998–99 academic year.
2012 - Simmons University joined the NEWMAC as an associate member for rowing in the 2012–13 academic year.
2013 - Emerson College joined the NEWMAC in the 2013–14 academic year.
2013 - The NEWMAC had absorbed the Pilgrim Lacrosse League to re-add men's lacrosse as a sponsored sport, while having the addition of Massachusetts Maritime Academy as an associate member for that sport, beginning the 2014 spring season (2013–14 academic year).
2019 - Massachusetts Maritime left the NEWMAC as an associate member for men's lacrosse after the 2019 spring season (2018–19 academic year).
2023 - Catholic (D.C.) left the NEWMAC as an associate member for football to join the Landmark Conference after the 2022 fall season (2022–23 academic year); as it had announced that it will sponsor that sport beginning the 2023 fall season (2023–24 academic year).
