The Atlantic Sun's Women’s Basketball Tournament began in 1986, with the winner of the tournament receiving the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship.
The tournament is held each year at predetermined campus sites, a tradition which started with the inception of the women's tournament. From 2004-07, the tournament was played regularly at the Dothan Civic Center in Dothan, Alabama, though then-conference member Troy was the official host in 2004-05, and the city of Dothan was the host in 2006-07, after Troy had departed for the Sun Belt Conference. Starting in 2008, the tournament moved again, this time to Nashville, Tennessee, hosted by Lipscomb.
