The 2015 NWHL draft was the first in the history of the National Women's Hockey League (2015). It took place on June 20, 2015 in Boston.
The draft was not binding on the players, who did not enter their names and did not have to give their consent. It was not clear that the players felt themselves bound by the decisions made in the draft. However, during the season the NWHL was frequently active on social media about draft picks' success in the NCAA, and on April 1, 2016 the NWHL announced that the draft would be enforced insofar as there would be salary cap penalties for teams that signed other teams' draftees.
A draft lottery was held by NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan for the Draft. The New York Riveters earned the first pick overall. Following the Riveters shall be the Connecticut Whale picking second overall.
