Athletic director Richard Regan Jr. said in statement that it was a "difficult decision" but also "an affirmation of how important basketball is at Holy Cross."
The Crusaders finished 9-22 overall and in seventh place in the Patriot League with a 5-9 conference mark.
Kearney was hired last July to replace Ralph Willard, who left after 10 years at his alma mater to join Rick Pitino's staff at Louisville.
It was the first head coaching job for Kearney, who had been an assistant at Notre Dame. He could not be reached for comment.
