NCAA Division II rowing championship

The NCAA Division II Rowing Championship is a rowing championship held by the NCAA for Division II women's heavyweight (or openweight) collegiate crews.

The reigning champions are Western Washington, who won their ninth team national title in 2024.

The most successful program has been Western Washington, with nine titles. The most successful conference has been the GNAC, producing 15 of the 22 champions (though not all occurred while in the conference).

UC Davis has made the transition to Division I, and despite winning the first two Division II championships back-to-back, cut their rowing team in 2010 due to the financial crisis.

Mercyhurst will make the transition to Division I following the 2023-24 season. It is the only independent school to have won the tournament, and their new rowing conference in Division I is TBA.
