The Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Tournament is the conference championship tournament in women's basketball for the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). It is a single-elimination tournament involving all of the 14 league schools, and seeding is based on regular-season records with head-to-head match-up as a tie-breaker. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA women's basketball tournament.

The top eight teams in the conference receive byes in the first round, while #12 plays #13 and #11 plays #14. The top four teams receive byes in the second round, while #5 plays the winner of #12/#13, #6 plays the winner of #11/#14, #7 plays #10, and #8 plays #9. The winners of the second-round games move on to face one of the top four seeds in the format of a normal eight-team bracket: #1 vs. #8 or #9; #2 vs. #7 or #10; #3 vs #6, #11 or #14; and #4 vs #5, #12 or #13.
