The 2024 Atlantic 10 Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Atlantic 10 Conference held from November 1 through November 19, 2024. All matches took place at on the campus of the higher seeded team. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending tournament champions were the Saint Louis Billikens, who successfully defended their championship as the first seed, defeating UMass in the Final 3–1.[1][2][3][4] This was the Billikens' ninth overall tournament title, and coach Katie Shields' seventh title. Shields and Saint Louis have won seven straight Atlantic 10 Tournaments in a row.[5] As tournament champions, Saint Louis earned the Atlantic 10's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
Seeding
The top eight teams in regular season play qualified for the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A tiebreaker was needed to determine the eighth and final seed in the tournament as Davidson and Rhode Island both finished with 4–5–1 regular season records. The two teams met on October 27, the final day of the regular season and Davidson prevailed 2–0 in the de-facto play in game. Therefore Davidson qualified for the tournament as the eighth seed, and Rhode Island did not qualify for the tournament.[6][7]
