Only two full members of the conference offer women's lacrosse, which the conference began sponsoring in 2019. Those schools are East Carolina and Temple. Five affiliate members play women's lacrosse in the AAC: Cincinnati, Florida, James Madison, Old Dominion, and Vanderbilt.

[16] None of the six schools that joined the conference in 2023–24 sponsored women's lacrosse, though Charlotte has announced that it will have a team beginning in 2025.

[17] [18] Cincinnati will leave after the 2024 season when the Big 12 adds women's lacrosse as a sponsored sport.
