The 2025 American Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the American Conference held from November 3 to November 9, 2025. The tournament was hosted at the Premier Sports Campus located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.[1] This was the first conference tournament to be held under the "American Conference" name. On July 21, 2025, the conference dropped the word "Athletic" from its name, becoming simply the American Conference.[2] The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The East Carolina Pirates were the defending tournament champions.[3][4] East Carolina was unable to defend its title. They fell to first seed Memphis in the Quarterfinals. Fifth-seed UTSA finished as tournament champions, defeating sixth-seed Rice 1–0 in overtime the Final.[5][6] UTSA's win was the program's first and also the first for eighth-year head coach Derek Pittman.[7] As tournament champions, UTSA earned the American's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season conference records. A three-way tiebreaker was required to determine the third through fifth seeds as Tulsa, UAB, and UTSA all finished with identical 4–3–3 records in conference play and fifteen total conference points. Tulsa defeated both UAB and UTSA during the regular season and was awarded the third seed. UAB and UTSA tied their regular season match-up 1–1 on September 25. After further tiebreakers, UAB was the fourth seed and UTSA was the fifth seed. A second three-way tiebreaker was required as East Carolina, Rice, and South Florida all finished with fourteen conference points. Rice defeated South Florida and tied East Carolina during the regular season. South Florida defeated East Carolina and tied with Rice ruing the regular season. East Carolina lost to South Florida and tied Rice during the regular season. After the tiebreakers, Rice was the sixth seed, South Florida was the seventh seed, and East Carolina was the eighth seed.[8][9]
