The 1982 college softball season, play of college softball in the United States began in February 1982. Two organizations sponsored end of season tournaments crowning a national champion: the AIAW and the NCAA. Both ended in an event called the Women's College World Series. The season progressed through the regular season, many conference tournaments and championship series, and concluded with the dueling tournaments in May 1982.
1982 was the final season of AIAW sports, and the first of NCAA-sanctioned women's sports.
The AIAW title was claimed by Texas A&M while the NCAA event crowned UCLA as champion. Following the season, the NCAA became the sole sponsor of top-level women's college athletics, as the AIAW folded.
