2019 NCAA Division I women's soccer season

The 2019 NCAA Division I women's soccer season was the 38th season of NCAA championship women's college soccer.

New programs
The Merrimack Warriors began the transition from Division II to Division I and joined the Northeast Conference.

Long Island University announced in October 2018 that its two then-current athletic programs—the Division I LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds and the Division II LIU Post Pioneers—would merge into a single Division I athletic program under the LIU name after the 2018–19 school year. The unified program, which maintains LIU Brooklyn's Division I and Northeast Conference memberships, announced its new nickname of Sharks on May 15, 2019. With both campuses sponsoring women's soccer, the two teams became a single LIU team based at the Post campus in Nassau County, New York in the 2019 season.

Three schools that sponsor women's soccer began transitions from Division II in the 2020–21 school year. Bellarmine joinrf the ASUN Conference, Dixie State joined the Western Athletic Conference, and UC San Diego will join the Big West Conference.

Rebranded programs
In addition to LIU, one other Division I women's soccer program assumed a new athletic identity during the 2018–19 offseason. On July 1, 2019, the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) announced that its athletic program, previously known as the UMKC Kangaroos, would henceforth be known as the Kansas City Roos, with "Roos" having long been used as a short form of the historic "Kangaroos" nickname.

Conference realignment
This was also the final season for four programs in their current conferences. The Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners and Kansas City Roos will both leave the Western Athletic Conference in July 2020, with the Roadrunners joining the Big West Conference and the Roos returning to their former conference home of the Summit League. At the same time, the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons will leave the Summit League for the Horizon League, and the UConn Huskies will leave the American Athletic Conference to join several of their former conference mates in the Big East Conference.

Major upsets
In this list, a "major upset" is defined as a game won by a team ranked 10 or more spots lower or an unranked team that defeats a team ranked #15 or higher.
