The 2023 Ivy League women's soccer tournament was the inaugural postseason women's soccer tournament for the Ivy League held from November 3 through November 5, 2023.[1] The tournament was hosted by Stevenson Field in Providence, Rhode Island, home of the regular season champions, Brown. The four team-team single-elimination tournament consisted of two rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Second seeded Harvard became the first team to win the championship by defeating Columbia 3–0 in the Final.[2] The conference tournament title was the first for the Harvard women's soccer program, and the first for head coach Chris Hamblin. Harvard had previously won thirteen regular season women's soccer titles before the Ivy League Tournament was created.[3] As tournament champions, Harvard earned the Ivy League's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top four teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament and teams were seeded by conference record. No tiebreakers were required as each of the top five teams finished with unique conference records.[4] [5]
