The tournament has been held every year since the split from the Big East Conference in 2013.

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 teams are seeded based on the order of finish in the conference's round robin regular season.
