The ASUN Women's Soccer Tournament is the conference championship tournament in college soccer for the Atlantic Sun Conference (previously the Trans America Athletic Conference). The tournament has been held every year since 1994. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records.

Contents

The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship. The tournament has had different setups in its history with only four teams qualifying for the tournament from 1994 to 1997, six teams qualifying from 1998 to 2019, to the now eight qualifying teams.

Florida Gulf Coast and UCF are the most winning teams of the competition, with 8 titles each.
