The 2024 American Athletic Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the American Athletic Conference held from November 4to November 10, 2024. The tournament was hosted at the Premier Sports Campus located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Memphis Tigers were the defending tournament champions. Memphis was unable to defend its title. They reached the Final but fell to East Carolina 1–0 in overtime. East Carolina's win was the program's first and also the first for third-year head coach Gary Higgins. As tournament champions, East Carolina earned the American's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
This was the last conference tournament to be held under the "American Athletic Conference" name. On July 21, 2025, the conference dropped the word "Athletic" from its name, becoming simply the American Conference.
