The Division I First-Team All-Americans is an annual list honoring the best performing NCAA Division I women's U.S. college soccer players of the season as selected by United Soccer Coaches (formerly known as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)).
Throughout its history, the NSCAA All-America teams have not necessarily included exactly eleven players, nor has there been consistency with regards to the positions picked or number of players in each position. The selection was also open to Division II and Division III players until 1988 when it became exclusively for Division I players.
From 1980 to 1985, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) selected one All-America team that combined all three divisions.

An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit, the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media. Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889. The 2018 NCAA Men's Soccer All-Americans are honorary lists that include All-American selections from the United Soccer Coaches (USC), Top Drawer Soccer (TDS), Soccer America (TSN), and College Soccer News for the 2018 NCAA Division I men's soccer season.
