List of NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament Final Four appearances by coach

Last updated

This is a list of the NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament regional championships by coach. Unlike the men's tournament that uses directions for names, the current names of the NCAA tournament regions are the name of the city that is to host said region. The winners of the four regions are awarded an NCAA Regional Championship Trophy and advance in the Division I women's basketball tournament to play in the Final Four.
