The NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship is an American intercollegiate college soccer tournament conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to determine the Division II women's national champion.[1]

The Division II Championship has been held annually since 1988. It was the third of the NCAA-sponsored women's soccer tournaments to be established; the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship began in 1981 and the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship in 1986.[2]

The current champions are the Grand Valley State Lakers who won their second consecutive title on December 6, 2014. The win made Grand Valley State only the second team to win at least four Division II championships and the first to win consecutive crowns twice.[3]

Franklin Pierce, with 5 national titles, is the most successful Division II program.
