The Auburn Tigers women's gymnastics team represents Auburn University in the sport of gymnastics. The team competes in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

In their four decades of history, the Tigers have made four appearances at the National Championships; making the Super Six twice.[4][5]

History

Auburn Gymnastics history dates back to the late 1890s but the Auburn Tigers gymnastics program wasn't founded until 1965[6] by Edwin Bengston; a kinesiology lecturer at the University and weightlifter.[7][8] After a successful few years of competition, the program was discontinued. In 1974, the program was reinstated by Bengston; Title IX providing the first form of financial aid of $150 to Jeanne Denoon-Amos.[9][10][11]
