2015 Women's National Invitation Tournament

The 2015 Women's National Invitation Tournament is a single-elimination tournament of 64 NCAA Division I teams that were not selected to participate in the 2015 Women's NCAA Tournament. The annual tournament began on March 18 and will end on April 4, with the championship game televised on CBS Sports Network. All games will be played on the campus sites of participating schools. The Tournament was won by the UCLA Bruins who defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers 62-60 in the final before a crowd of 8,403 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, WV on April 4. It was UCLA's first WNIT title. UCLA's Jordin Canada was the tournament's most valuable player.

Sixty-four teams were selected to participate in the 2015 WNIT. Thirty-two teams received automatic berths into the tournament from being the highest-ranked team in their conference that failed to make the NCAA Women's Tournament. The other 32 teams earned at-large bids, by having a winning record but failing to make the NCAA Women's Tournament. If a conference’s automatic qualifier declines the WNIT invitation, the conference forfeits that automatic spot, and that selection goes into the pool of at-large schools.
