2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings
Two human polls make up the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball rankings, the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll, in addition to various publications' preseason polls. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season ended March 12, 2020. As a result, the NCAA did not bestow a national championship. Instead, that title was de facto bestowed by one or more different polling agencies. There are two main weekly polls that begin in the preseason—the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll.

As such, South Carolina finished the season first in both wire rankings, and has made a claim to such a mythical national championship, similar to college football, when the team raised a banner to commemorate the season on December 31, 2020. This banner is located between their 2017 and 2022 NCAA championship banners at Colonial Life Arena.
