National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association (NIWFA) is a women's collegiate fencing organization in the United States. The organization was founded as the IWFA in 1929 by two freshmen, one from New York University and one from Cornell University, who based the organization on the male Intercollegiate Fencing Association.^[1] The IWFA became the "National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association" in 1964 and called for a national championship, which it has conducted annually among its membership. From 1980 through 1982, a national championship was also administered by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.
