The 1970 DGWS Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 2nd annual Division for Girls' and Women's Sports-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 29−30, 1970 in Urbana, Illinois at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and won by the host Illinois Fighting Illini track and field team.^[1]

There were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981. The meet would be called the DGWS Championships until 1972, when the DGWS changed its name to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

The meeting was praised for attracting more competition than the previous year, in part due to removing a rule that restricted club athletes from competing. A total of 53 schools and over 200 athletes participated.^[2][3]

The meet served as a qualifier for the 1970 World University Games later that year.^[4]
