The Nebraska Cornhuskers represent the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in rifle and compete in the Great America Rifle Conference. Rifle, although technically classified as a men's sport by the NCAA, is fully coeducational, with men's, women's, and coed teams competing against one another. Nebraska chooses to field an all-female team. Rifle got its start as an official sport of the university during the 1998–1999 season under coach Karen Anthony.

The team practices and has meets at the 10-point indoor firing range located in the Military and Naval Sciences Building (ROTC). The coach is Morgan Hicks who started in the 2007–2008 season. The team has had invitations to the NCAA tournament and has won two individual national titles.
