  1. ^ Both Division I tournaments in 1982—AIAW and NCAA—were named "Women's College World Series".
  2. ^ The only national titles not listed here are those won by Texas Woman's University in 1979 and John F. Kennedy College in 1969–1971. TWU now competes at the Division II level. JFK College is defunct.
  3. ^ Kennesaw State joins CUSA in 2025.
  4. ^ UMass joins the MAC in 2026.
  5. ^ a b Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC in 2025.
  6. ^ Delaware joins CUSA in 2026.
  7. ^ After the 2024 season, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems will dissolve IUPUI, replacing it with separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions. The IUPUI athletic program will be inherited by Indiana University Indianapolis, with possible athletic brand names of IU Indianapolis and IUI.
  8. ^ Not to be confused with UIC's soccer venue, also called Flames Field. The two venues have different street addresses on Chicago's Roosevelt Road, with the softball park at 839 West and the soccer stadium at 901 West.
  9. ^ After the 2018–19 school year, Long Island University merged the Division I athletic program of its Brooklyn campus with the Division II athletic program of its Post campus, creating a single Division I program that now competes as the LIU Sharks. [3] [4]
  10. ^ LIU bases its unified softball program at the Brooklyn campus. [3]
  11. ^ The unified LIU athletic program inherited the Northeast Conference membership of the Brooklyn campus. [3]
  12. ^ a b Merrimack and Sacred Heart join the MAAC in 2025.
  13. ^ a b c Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah join the Big 12 in 2025.

  16. ^ Oregon State joins the WCC in 2025.
  17. ^ The 1995 title by UCLA and any related records have been vacated by the NCAA due to scholarship violations. Criticism also centered on UCLA player Tanya Harding who was recruited from Queensland, Australia, midway through the 1995 season. After UCLA captured the NCAA National Championship, Harding, the MVP of the tournament, returned to her homeland without taking final exams or earning a single college credit. Despite not violating any formal rules in recruiting Harding, the incident generated heated criticism that some foreign athletes were little more than hired guns. [5] [6]
  18. ^ Tentative name.
  19. ^ Formerly Dixie State University. The athletic nickname of Trailblazers did not change.

  4. ^ UMass joins the MAC in 2026.
  5. ^ a b Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC in 2025.
  6. ^ Delaware joins CUSA in 2026.
  7. ^ After the 2024 season, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems will dissolve IUPUI, replacing it with separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions. The IUPUI athletic program will be inherited by Indiana University Indianapolis, with possible athletic brand names of IU Indianapolis and IUI.
  8. ^ Not to be confused with UIC's soccer venue, also called Flames Field. The two venues have different street addresses on Chicago's Roosevelt Road, with the softball park at 839 West and the soccer stadium at 901 West.
  9. ^ After the 2018–19 school year, Long Island University merged the Division I athletic program of its Brooklyn campus with the Division II athletic program of its Post campus, creating a single Division I program that now competes as the LIU Sharks. [3] [4]
  10. ^ LIU bases its unified softball program at the Brooklyn campus. [3]

Criticism also centered on UCLA player Tanya Harding who was recruited from Queensland, Australia, midway through the 1995 season. After UCLA captured the NCAA National Championship, Harding, the MVP of the tournament, returned to her homeland without taking final exams or earning a single college credit. Despite not violating any formal rules in recruiting Harding, the incident generated heated criticism that some foreign athletes were little more than hired guns. [5] [6]
  18. ^ Tentative name.
  19. ^ Formerly Dixie State University. The athletic nickname of Trailblazers did not change.
