The 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference women's soccer tournament was the post season women's soccer tournament for the Atlantic Coast Conference, held from November 2 through November 9, 2025. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites for the quarterfinals and First Horizon Stadium in Cary, North Carolina for the semifinals and final. [1] The higher seed hosted the campus site matches. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Florida State Seminoles were the five-time defending champions. [2] The Seminoles were unable to defend their title, as they lost in a penalty shoot-out in the First Round. The final was contested by the first seed Stanford and second seed Notre Dame, who were also the first and second ranked teams in the United Soccer Coaches Poll at the time of the match. The teams played to a 2–2 draw, and Stanford prevailed 5–4 in the ensuing penalty shoot-out. [3] This was Stanford's first ACC tournament title, after they joined the conference last year. It was also the first title for head coach Paul Ratcliffe. [4] As tournament champions, Stanford earned the ACC's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Qualification

The top six teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference earned a berth into the ACC Tournament. The top two teams earned a bye to the semifinals. [5] The final seedings were determined after the final day of the regular season on October 30, 2025. The three-way tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth, fifth, and sixth seeds, as Florida State, Louisville, and Virginia all finished with twenty conference points, with 6–2–2 records. Florida State defeated both Louisville and Virginia on September 11 and October 23, respectively. Therefore, Florida State earned the fourth seed. Louisville and Virginia tied their regular season match 1–1 on October 18 and therefore went to a second tiebreaker. They each had three wins against common opponents, which was the second tiebreaker, so the teams moved to the third tiebreaker, goal difference. Virginia finished with a +11 goal difference, while Louisville finished with a +7 goal difference. Therefore, Virginia was the fifth seed and Louisville was the sixth seed. [6]
