It has been held annually since 1983.
These championships are held concurrently with the men's Division III indoor championships and are separate from the women's Division III outdoor championships held during the spring.
The Wisconsin–Oshkosh Titans have been the most successful program, with 9 team titles.
Washington–St. Louis are the reigning national champions, winning their second national title in 2026.
