The 1974 AIAW Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 6th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-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 17−18, 1974 in Denton, Texas by host Texas Woman's University.[1] There were not separate AIAW Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981.
