The 2025 CAA women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Coastal Athletic Association that was held from October 30 to November 9, 2025. ^[1] The five-match tournament had the quarterfinals and semifinals hosted by the higher seeds of the North and South Divisions, while the final was hosted by the highest remaining seed. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. ^[2] The defending champions were Stony Brook, who won their first title in the previous season. ^[3] Stony Brook failed to defend their title, as they were defeated by Elon on penalties in the final. ^[4] It was the second title for Elon and for head coach Neil Payne. ^[5]

As tournament champions, Elon earned the CAA's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top three teams of the North and South Divisions in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season conference records. The #1 seeds from the two divisions received a bye into the semifinals. ^[6]

North Division

A tiebreaker was required in the North Division to determine whether Hofstra or Towson would take the third seed, as both teams finished with a 3–3–3 record. Hofstra and Towson drew their regular season meeting 1–1 on September 28. ^[7] Hofstra secured the third North Division seed thanks to their better record against Stony Brook in the regular season, as Hofstra won 3–2 on October 26, while Towson were defeated 3–1 on October 2. ^{[8] [9]}
