The American Athletic Conference Softball Tournament is the conference championship tournament in college softball for the American Athletic Conference. It is a single-elimination tournament, with seeding based on regular season records. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Softball Championship each season. The Tournament champion is separate from the conference champion. The conference championship is determined solely by regular season record.

The American is one of two successors to the original Big East Conference, which split after the 2013 season. The first year of the tournament was held at Cougar Softball Stadium in Houston, Texas.[1]

Tournament
