The 2025 NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament was a single-elimination tournament with 64 teams that determined the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I women's volleyball national champion for the 2025 season. It was the 45th edition of the tournament. It started on December 4, 2025 on various college campuses across the country, location determinations were chosen based on participating teams seedings. The tournament concluded with the championship game from T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri on December 21, 2025, when Texas A&M swept Kentucky 3–0 to win the program's first NCAA title.

Nebraska, who went undefeated in the regular season for the first time since the program won the 2000 NCAA championship, earned the #1 overall seed, while Kentucky, Texas, and Pittsburgh rounded out the top-4 overall seeds. ^[1] All four teams successfully defeated their first & second round opponents, allowing them to host the regional rounds. The 2024 defending NCAA national champions Penn State was denied a chance at a repeat, as they were defeated in the second round by Texas. Penn State remains to be the only NCAA Division I women's volleyball program to earn a bid to all 45 NCAA Tournaments since its the inception in 1981. ^[1]

The top four regional seeds successfully advanced to the regional semifinals in all regions with the exception of the Kentucky regional, which saw unseeded Cal Poly advance after upsetting fourth-seeded Southern California in the second round. All number 1 and 3 seeds successfully advanced to the regional finals. Texas A&M completed arguably the biggest upset of the 2025 season when it defeated top-ranked and then-undefeated Nebraska to advance to the program's first ever final four. ^[2] In the other regionals, Pittsburgh advanced to the program's fifth-straight final four, while Wisconsin and Kentucky also advanced after defeating Texas and Creighton, respectively.

In the final four, Texas A&M continued their tournament run and defeated Pittsburgh in 3 sets, knocking out another #1 seed to advance to the program's first ever championship match. In the second semifinal, Wisconsin and Kentucky battled in a close match, with Kentucky prevailing 3–2. The wins guaranteed an all-SEC final for the first time in NCAA tournament history.

In the national championship match, Texas A&M swept Kentucky in three sets to win the program's first NCAA volleyball title in school history, becoming the second SEC school to earn a title after Kentucky in 2020. The 2025 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) National Coach of the Year, Jamie Morrison, won his first NCAA title as a coach with the win.
