The Northeast Conference women's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Northeast Conference. In the current format, six teams compete in the single-elimination tournament, with all games being played at the home field of the higher seed. Seeding is based on regular season conference records.^[1] The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship.

The tournament consisted of six teams from 1997 to 2023, but it shrunk to four teams in 2024.
