The 2019 Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball tournament ended the 2018–19 season of Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball. The tournament was held March 6–March 9 at Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. Belmont won the championship, defeating UT Martin 59–53. Belmont's Jenny Roy was named tournament MVP.
Format The OVC women's tournament is a traditional single-elimination tournament featuring the top eight teams in the conference regular-season standings. This differs from the format used in the OVC men's tournament; while that tournament also involves only eight of the league's 12 members, it has a radically different format, consisting of two stepladder brackets that produce the tournament finalists. The women's tournament is seeded so that the #8 seed faces the #1 seed in the first round, #7 faces #2, and so on. There is no reseeding, so if the #8 team were to defeat the #1 seed it would continue in the tournament playing the team which would have faced the #1 seed in the subsequent round (winner of #4 vs. #5).
