# Northeast Conference women's soccer tournament

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. 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.
