The 2025 Summit League women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Summit League for the 2025 season and was held on November 1, 2, 6, and 9, 2025. The five-match tournament took place at various campus sites. The six-team single elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits successfully defended their title to win their third championship in a row and secured the Summit League's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
Seeding The top six of the nine teams competing during the regular season qualified for the 2025 tournament. Seeding was based on regular-season conference records. A tiebreaker was required to determine the first and second seeds in the tournament as Denver and Oral Roberts both finished with 6–1–1 conference records. Oral Roberts earned the top seed by virtue of their 1–0 regular season defeat of Denver on October 5 in Denver. Therefore, Denver was the second seed. Another tiebreaker determined the fourth and fifth seeds between Kansas City and South Dakota as both teams finished with 3–3–2 regular season records. The two teams tied 1–1 on October 9 during the regular season. The next tiebreaker was a goal difference in league matches. Kansas City finished with a -1 goal difference, while South Dakota achieved a +2 goal difference. Therefore, South Dakota earned the fourth seed, as well as the right to host the first round match between the teams.
