KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The 30-team field and six individual qualifiers for the 2026 NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship, May 19-22 at Eagle Crest Golf Club in Ypsilanti, Mich., was announced May 8 by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Eagle Crest will host the championship for a second time, and 2026 marks the 31st-Annual NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship.
Last season, British Columbia took home the Red Banner, and the Thunderbirds are in the field again in 2026, as an automatic qualifier from the Cascade Collegiate Conference. If UBC can repeat, the Thunderbirds would take over the NAIA record for Red Banners, bringing eight into this year’s championship. UBC and Keiser (Fla.) have combined to win the last six NAIA Women’s Golf National Championships, UBC winning four and Keiser two. Keiser is an at-large selection out of The Sun Conference in 2026.
The CCC, the Southern States Athletic Conference, and the Mid-South Conference all put three teams in the field, one behind the Appalachian Athletic Conference and The Sun, each with an NAIA-best four teams in the championship.
The 2026 NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship will air on the Urban Edge Network and the NAIA Network, produced by The National Golf Network. Broadcast links, apps, and connected TV information can be found at www.naia.org/watch. Live results, leaderboards, and tournament stats can be tracked on the Clippd Scoreboard.
