Format:
The championship provides for a field of 36 teams determined based on their national qualifying score. Teams 1-16 are seeded by the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Committee and the remaining teams are placed geographically at one of the four regional sites. Included in the championship field are also 12 all-around competitors and 64 individual event specialists (all of whom are not on a qualifying team).
Four regionals consisting of 9 teams and approximately three all-around competitors (not on a qualifying team), and four individual specialists per event (not on a qualifying team) will be conducted at predetermined campus sites. The first round will consist of two teams, second round will consist of eight teams and all individual qualifiers and the regional final will consist of four teams.
The 2025 NC Women’s Gymnastics Championships will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas on April 16 and 18. Advancing from regional competition to the national championships will be a total of eight teams and four all-around competitors and 16 event specialists. The top two teams, the top all-around competitors, and the top event specialist on each event (who are not on an advancing team) from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships.
