The 2026–27 season continues Australia’s growing influence across NCAA women’s basketball, with Australians spread across national championship contenders, Power Four conferences and mid-major programs throughout the United States.

Utah Utes, Saint Mary’s Gaels and TCU Horned Frogs are among the programs featuring multiple Australians in 2026–27, while Melbourne continues to produce one of the largest concentrations of Australian NCAA women’s basketball talent.

This page is basketball.com.au’s ongoing tracker of Australians playing NCAA Division I women’s basketball during the 2026–27 season and will be updated throughout the year as rosters, transfers and freshman signings are confirmed. It is by no means a completed list.
