Texas–Tyler are the reigning national champions, winning their first national title in 2024.

History

See also: AIAW softball tournaments

Softball was one of twelve women's sports added to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship program for the 1981-82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) for sole governance of women's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same twelve (and other) sports; however, after a year of dual women's championships, the NCAA conquered the AIAW and usurped its authority and membership.

See Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Champions for the AIAW Division II and III softball champions from 1980 to 1982 (in 1982, in all three divisions, there were both NCAA and AIAW champions).
