The 2025 U Sports Women's Final 8 Basketball Tournament was held March 13–16, 2025, in Vancouver, British Columbia, to determine a national champion for the 2024–25 U Sports women's basketball season. The top-seeded Saskatchewan Huskies defeated the two-time defending champion Carleton Ravens 85–66 to claim the program's third national championship.
Host The tournament was hosted by the University of British Columbia at the school's Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre and UBC War Memorial Gymnasium. It was also held concurrently with the 2025 U Sports Men's Basketball Championship, hence the necessity for two venues, which is also the first time in U Sports history that both tournaments were hosted by one school in the same year. This was the first time that UBC has hosted the tournament.
Participating teams The seeding for teams was announced on March 9, 2025, with the Laval Rouge et Or being awarded the at-large berth.
