The United States women's national wheelchair basketball team began in the mid-1960s. The first women's team to compete alongside men in the Paralympic Games was in the inaugural 1968 tournament. A few years later in 1977, a women's wheelchair basketball division was created in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA).

In December 2021, Trooper Johnson resigned as head coach of the women’s national team after current and former players alleged emotional misconduct.[2] [3] He said he would cooperate with a United States Center for SafeSport investigation, and believed there would not be any findings.[2] [3]
