Tennis was one of twelve women's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981–82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) for sole governance of women's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same twelve (and other) sports; however, after a year of dual women's championships, the NCAA conquered the AIAW and usurped its authority and membership.

Williams has won the most national championships, with 10 national titles. Wesleyan is the reigning national champion, winning its first title in 2019 beating the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in a 5-4 clincher a year after they beat Emory for the 2018 title
