The SEC women's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in college soccer for the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The tournament has been held every year since 1993. It is a single-elimination tournament with seeding based on conference records and the regular-season champion hosting the semifinal and final matches. The field expanded from four to six teams in its second season, 1994, and then to eight teams in 1996. The current format of 10 teams was adopted in 2012. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship.
