The NCAA Division III Women's Golf Championships, played in May, are the annual competitions in women's collegiate golf for individuals and teams from universities in Division III. It is a stroke play team competition with an additional individual award.
A combined Division II and Division III championship was held from 1996 to 1999, splitting into separate championships starting in 2000.
The most successful program, by far, has been Methodist, who have won 17 national titles, 15 of which were won consecutively between 1998 and 2012. The current champions are Emory, who won their third championship in 2026.
