The Ivy League women's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Ivy League. The tournament was held from 1978 to 1981 before being discontinued. The competition was revived in 2023.[1]

The tournament has been held every year since 1994. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship.[2][3]
