Women’s college basketball is sometimes framed as a top-heavy sport dominated by a small group of dynastic programs. 

While that may have been true in the past, the growth of women’s basketball over the last decade has created greater top-level parity. 

As a result, there have been far fewer repeat national champions.

Last NCAA Women’s Basketball Program to Repeat As National Championships

Women’s basketball hasn’t had back-to-back national champions since UConn won four in a row from 2013-16.

It’s the longest stretch in women’s basketball without a repeat champion since the 1980s and 1990s.

Since then, six different programs have won the last eight national championships. South Carolina was the only program to win more than one title in that span.

UConn finally broke its drought when it won the 2025 national title – its first since 2016.
