The NAIA women's wrestling championship is an annual tournament hosted by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics to determine the national champion of collegiate women's wrestling among its members in the United States.[1]
The tournament consists of both a team national title and individual titles at various weight classes. The NAIA voted to approve women's wrestling as its 28th national championship on April 9, 2022.[2] Prior to this, there had been three NAIA women's wrestling national invitational championships. The winners of the Invitational Championships are still recognized as National Champions.[3]
The 2020 National Invitational was canceled due to COVID-19.[4]
The reigning national champions are Menlo, who won their second title in 2024.
