The National Women's Lacrosse League (NWLL) is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) women's lacrosse-only college athletic conference. The vast majority of NAIA women's lacrosse programs play at the club level as part of the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA). The NAIA does not currently organize the sport of lacrosse for its member institutions, although there is hope this may change in the near future.

Founding schools of the NWLL are Indiana Institute of Technology, Missouri Baptist University, Reinhardt University, Robert Morris University (Illinois), Shorter University and Tennessee Wesleyan College. Conference play begins during the 2010-11 season, culminating in the first NWLL conference tournament championship April 22–23, 2011 at Shorter University.

On April 26, 2011 the NWLL announced the addition of three new members which will begin competition in the conference in the 2011-12 academic year: Davenport University, Savannah College of Art and Design and Siena Heights University.^[1] On October 12, 2011 it was announced that Midland University would be joining the NWLL for the 2011-12 academic year..^[2]
