The NCAA Division III women's outdoor track and field championships are contested at the annual track meet hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field among its Division III member programs in the United States. The championships have been held almost every year since 1982. [1]
Athletes' performances in individual championships earn points for their institutions and the team with the most points receives the NCAA team title in track and field.
These championships are separate from the NCAA Division III Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships held during the winter.
Wisconsin–Oshkosh have been the most successful program, with nine national titles.
MIT are the reigning team national champions, winning their first title in 2025.
