Teams with back-to-back NCAA women's basketball titles: 3 programs dominate March Madness

South Carolina has a chance to join an elite company in the 2025 NCAA women’s tournament.

The Gamecocks earned the top seed in the 2025 women's March Madness bracket after finishing the 2024-25 season with a 30-3 record and an SEC tournament win over Texas.

If South Carolina repeats as national champions, the Gamecocks will become the fourth program to win back-to-back titles in the women's tournament since 1982.

Here are the repeat winners.

UConn (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016)

Breanna Stewart and the Huskies did the improbable with four consecutive titles, which hasn't been replicated since.

UConn (2009, 2010)

The Huskies were unstoppable with an undefeated record in each title season and a starring cast of Maya Moore, Tina Charles and Tiffany Hayes.

Tennessee (2007, 2008)

Legendary coach Pat Summitt's final two of her eight titles came from Candace Parker-led teams. Parker went No. 1 overall in the 2008 WNBA Draft.

UConn (2002, 2003, 2004)

The Huskies had an impressive run with four championships in five years and punctuated the run with three consecutive titles. The eventual No. 1 WNBA Draft pick Diana Taurasi was on all three teams.

Tennessee (1996, 1997, 1998)

After losing the national championship to UConn in 1995, Pat Summitt's teams won three consecutive titles. The Lady Vols got revenge and beat the Huskies in the Final Four in 1996 and the Midwest Regional Final in 1997.

USC (1983, 1984)

Linda Sharp's teams had greats Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper on the roster as the Trojans became the first team to repeat as champions in the new tournament format.
