After the successful first 1922 Women's World Games in Paris and the three Women's Olympiads (1921 Women's Olympiad, 1922 Women's Olympiad and 1923 Women's World Games) in Monaco the interest for women's sports also grew internationally. In 1922 the "Women's Amateur Athletic Association" (WAAA) was founded[2] in the UK, that year several[1] ”national” women’s track meet were held.

In 1923[6] the WAAA[3][8] now organised the first official[1] British women championships[2] in track and field (WAAA[5] Championships[7]). In the US the "Amateur Athletic Union" (AAU) sponsored the first national championship for women in track and field on 29 September 1923.
