The United Athletic Conference women's soccer tournament, formerly the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) tournament in 2026, is the conference championship tournament in women's soccer for the Western Athletic Conference. In July 2026, the WAC rebranded as the UAC, taking the name of a pre-existing football alliance between the WAC and Atlantic Sun Conference.
The tournament has been held every year since 1995. It is a single-elimination tournament with seeding based on conference records. The tournament field has been six teams for the entirety of its history. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship.
SMU is the most winning team of the competition, with six championships.
