The ASUN Men's Soccer Tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the ASUN Conference (previously the Trans America Athletic Conference and Atlantic Sun Conference). The tournament has been held every year since 1994. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship. The tournament has had different setups in its history with only four teams qualifying for the tournament from 1994 to 1997, six teams qualifying from 1998 to 2019, to the now eight qualifying teams.
