# U Sports women's soccer championship

The U Sports Women's Soccer Championship is a Canadian university soccer tournament conducted by U Sports, and determines the women's national champion. The tournament involves the champions from each of Canada's four regional sports conferences. The Gladys Bean Memorial Trophy is awarded to the winners.
UBC is the reigning champion and has won the most championships winning for the ninth time in 2024. Trinity Western is the next most successful program, having won five championships.
The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Format

The championship features eight teams in single-elimination matches to determine a national champion. The championship hosts 11 games over four days at a predetermined host venue. The host team is automatically qualified for the tournament, as is each of the conference champions, with additional berths awarded for the remaining spots.
