NCAA Division I Women's Tournaments «2013 2015»

The 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament was played in March and April 2014, with the Final Four played April 6–8. The Ohio Valley Conference served as the host institution. It was the first time that Nashville had hosted a Women's Final Four Basketball tournament. The Final Four was played at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tennessee continued its streak of making every NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament at 33 consecutive appearances. Connecticut (who made their seventh straight Final 4 overall) and Notre Dame faced each other in the NCAA Final. Both were undefeated heading into the championship game, making it the first ever match up of two undefeated teams in the championship game. Connecticut prevailed, 79–58, to win their ninth National Championship.

The previous day, Connecticut also won the men's tournament. It was just the second time in NCAA history the same school had won both the men's and women's tournament; UConn accomplished that feat first in 2004.

There were 64 teams in the tournament, placed in a seeded bracket with four regions. Thirty-two teams received automatic bids – thirty-one of which were their conference tournament champions; the other was for the Ivy League regular-season champion. An additional 32 teams were given at-large bids by the selection committee on the basis of their body of work during the regular season. Unlike the Men's Tournament, there was no "First Four" round.

The subregionals were played from March 22 to March 25, 2014. Sites chosen to host first- and second-round games in 2014 were:
