The James Madison Dukes women's basketball team is the basketball team that represents James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States. The school's team currently competes in the Colonial Athletic Association.
The team was founded in 1920, though records only go back to 1972. They joined the CAA in 1983. In the 1986 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament and the 1991 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament, they upset the #1 seed (Virginia in the former and Penn State in the latter) while ranked #8 (the lowest seed at the time), being the first team to ever do that on the women's side (the size of the tournament for the former was 40 while the latter had 48 teams). They are one of only three schools to upset a #1 seed while ranked as the lowest seed (the other being Southwest Missouri State in 1992 and Harvard in 1998). They have made the NCAA Tournament in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1996, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, and 2016. They have made the WNIT in 2001, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, finishing as runner up in 2012.
