NCAA Women's Final Four by Year

Each year the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament concludes with the “Final Four” – a weekend featuring four teams playing in two semifinal games, followed by the championship game between the winners. The popularity of the women’s tournament has exploded in recent years, and 2023 brought the most watched Women’s Final Four ever – with the championship game between LSU and Iowa drawing as many viewers as some recent NBA Championship games. Check out the list of the Final Four teams in the tourney since it began in 1982.
