How it all works:
The College Cup is made up of the last two rounds of the NCAA Division I tournament, consisting of two semi-finals and one final to determine the ultimate national champion.
There are 337 Division I women's soccer teams in the 2023 season and 64 of them will earn a spot in the single-elimination NCAA tournament. Thirty-one spots go to the teams who win their conference championship and the remaining 33 are selected at large by the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Committee.

There are 202 Division I men's soccer teams in the 2023 season and only 48 of them will earn a spot in the single-elimination NCAA tournament. The 23 conference winning teams will automatically qualify for the tournament with the remaining 25 selected at large by the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Committee. The teams will be seeded so that 16 of the 48 teams will receive a first-round bye and automatically advance to the second round.
