The 2000 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament (also known as the 2000 Women's College Cup) was the 19th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I women's collegiate soccer. The semifinals and championship game were played at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, California during December 2000.

North Carolina defeated UCLA in the final, 2–1, to win their sixteenth, and second straight, national title. The Tar Heels (21–3) were coached by Anson Dorrance.

The most outstanding offensive player was Meredith Florance from North Carolina, and the most outstanding defensive player was Catherine Reddick, also from North Carolina. Florance and Reddick, along with eleven other players, were named to the All-Tournament team. Florance was also the tournament's leading scorer (4 goals).

Qualification

All Division I women's soccer programs were eligible to qualify for the tournament. The tournament field remained fixed at 48 teams although it would expand to its current size, 64 teams, the following year.
