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.

Montreal Carabins are the reigning champions, winning in 2025 for the third time, all in the past eight seasons. UBC Thunderbirds are the most successful program with nine championships. Trinity Western Spartans are the next most successful program, having won five championships.

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.
