When Are the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships?

The NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships are held each spring following the conclusion of the regular season and conference championships. The college gymnastics season typically runs from January through March, with conference championships taking place in late March. NCAA Regionals are held in early April, and the national championship is typically contested over two days in mid-April.

The championship format includes:

• Day 1: Two national semifinal sessions featuring eight qualifying teams.
• Day 2: The Four on the Floor team final, where the top two teams from each semifinal compete for the national championship.
• Individual national champions are also crowned in the all-around and each event (vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise) based on performances during the semifinal sessions.

Teams compete on all four events using the traditional 10.0 scoring system, with cumulative team scores determining advancement throughout the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championship.

NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships Bracket & Selection Process

The road to the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships begins with the NCAA's National Qualifying Score (NQS), which determines postseason seeding. Following the regular season, the NCAA selects teams and individuals to compete in NCAA Regionals.

The NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships bracket is finalized after the regional competitions:

• Teams are seeded into regional sites based on their NQS rankings.
• The top two teams from each regional advance to the national championship, creating the eight-team championship field.
• Individual all-around competitors and event specialists from non-advancing teams also qualify based on their regional performances.
• Once regional competition concludes, the NCAA releases the official championship bracket, semifinal assignments, team seeds, and session matchups.

The official bracket is typically announced shortly after NCAA Regionals conclude, allowing fans to see which teams will compete in each semifinal and map out the path to the national title.
