NCAA Women's Gymnastics championship
The NCAA introduced Women's Gymnastics as a championship sport in 1982. Since then, only four universities have claimed the overall Division I championship; Division II competition was discontinued in 1987. During the early years of competition, the University of Utah under the leadership of head coach Greg Marsden dominated the field of competition. During the late 1980s and 1990s, the University of Georgia (UGA), coached by Suzanne Yoculan, and the University of Alabama, coached by Sarah Patterson, gained success and claimed several titles. With the exception of 2002 and 2011 when the University of Alabama won the NCAA title, UCLA coached by Valorie Kondos Field, and UGA have both claimed all titles since 1997, including back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004 for UCLA followed by five straight UGA titles between 2005 and 2009.
Alabama was winner of the 2011 NCAA Women's Gymnastics championship.
The championships in 2012 will be held April 20-22, 2012 at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia with Georgia Institute of Technology as host. The 2013 championships will take place on April 19-21, 2013 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California.

- From 1993 onward, scores for the top 6 teams are from the team finals (also known as the Super Six.)
- The scores for teams ranked 7th and lower are from the qualifying sessions, which is why the scores for some of these teams are higher than the scores of teams ranked above them.
