The NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship, played in the month of May, is the annual competition in women's collegiate golf for individuals and teams from universities in Division I. Golf was one of twelve women's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981-82 school year. It is a stroke play team competition. It involves counting the total number of strokes taken on each hole, by an individual player. The championship consists of four rounds, in which the teams with the highest amount of strokes are eliminated in each round. The individual with the lowest amount of strokes in the final round is awarded. Many individual winners have gone on to have successful careers on the LPGA Tour, including 1991 champion Annika Sörenstam and 1999 champion Grace Park.

The Division I competition started in 1982. A combined Division II and Division III championship was held from 1996 to 1999, splitting into separate championships starting in 2000.[1]
