The 2024 MAAC women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference held from November 3 through November 10, 2024. The seven-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting matches. The host for the matches was determined by seeding from regular season play. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Quinnipiac Bobcats were the defending champions.[1][2] As the second seed, they made it to the final where they were defeated by Fairfield 1–0.[3][4] This was Fairfield's eighth MAAC tournament win in program history, and first for head coach David Barrett. It was their first title since 2008 and the second year in a row that Fairfield and Quinnipiac contested the final.[5] As tournament champions, Fairfield earned the MAAC's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top eight MAAC teams from the regular season earned berths in the tournament. Teams were seeded by conference record. No tiebreakers were required as the top eight teams in the conference all finished with unique conference records.[6]
