NAIA District 14 consisted, throughout the district qualification era, of NAIA schools in Wisconsin.

When the NAIA split into divisions in 1992, the district split as well, competing in both divisions, with Division II adding teams from Minnesota who came from District 13.

Primary sources for information on this district include the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel.
