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. 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.^[3][4]
4. Hawaii and UTEP join the MW in 2026 (2027 season).
5. Inherited the athletic program of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), which was dissolved at the end of the 2023–24 school year and replaced by separate institutions affiliated with each system.
6. 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.
7. Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State join the Pac-12 in 2026 (2027 season).
8. 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.^[5][6]
9. LIU bases its unified softball program at the Brooklyn campus.^[5]
10. The unified LIU athletic program inherited the Northeast Conference membership of the Brooklyn campus.^[5]
11. Saint Francis will transition to Division III and compete in the Presidents' Athletic Conference in 2026 (2027 season).
12. Oregon State is technically one of the two remaining members of the Pac-12 Conference, but is housing most of its sports, including softball, in the WCC through the 2025–26 school year (2026 softball season). After that season, the Pac-12 will resume softball competition, coinciding with the arrival of five softball-sponsoring schools.
13. Formerly Dixie State University. The athletic nickname of Trailblazers did not change.
