Women's College World Series wins by school: Who has the most NCAA softball national championships in history? image

The Women's College World Series only started in 1982, but more than four decades of action have allowed a handful of schools to establish dynasties.

Fans are living through a dynasty right now. Oklahoma has won six national championships since 2016, completing a historic four-peat with the win in the 2024 edition of the tournament. The Sooners are evoking memories of UCLA, Arizona, and other stretches of dominance in college softball history. 

Oklahoma doesn't reign supreme when it comes to all-time titles, however. Six schools have won the Women's College World Series multiple times, and three stand above the rest.
