The Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball tournament is the conference championship tournament in women's basketball for the Ohio Valley Conference. It is a single-elimination tournament involving 8 of the 11 league schools, and seeding is based on regular-season records with head-to-head matchup as a tiebreaker. The winner normally receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA women's basketball tournament. An exception was in 2024, when Southern Indiana swept the conference's regular-season and tournament titles but was not eligible for the NCAA tournament because of its ongoing transition from NCAA Division II. The highest seeds face off against the corresponding lowest seeds, with the two remaining teams facing off in the Finals to determine the champion. The tournament has been held since 1981.[1]

History

For the 1978-79 season, a tournament was held to determine the champion of the conference, though it was not a postseason tournament due to it being held from February 8–10, with the season running until March 9. Southeast Missouri vacated the 2005-06 title due to NCAA penalties. Tennessee Tech has won 10 titles, Austin Peay (which left the conference in July 2022) has won 7, and Belmont (which also left in 2022) and Middle Tennessee (formerly of the conference) have won 6 each.[2]
