This is a list of female sports athletes who have been inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame, which recognizes the athletic and coaching achievements of women.
[1] Selections are made worldwide and are based on achievements, breakthroughs, innovative style and ongoing commitment to the development of women's sports.
Since its inception in 1980 under the auspices of the Women's Sports Foundation, a total of 113 athletes and 21 coaches have been inducted.
The International Women's Sports Hall of Fame was initially located in East Meadow, New York.
