American University fields a women's soccer team in the Patriot League (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 30 players, about the median of 31, with 1 head coach and 2 assistants. Team expenses were $1,203,619, about the median of $1.2M — $40,120 per roster spot, upper half of Division I women's soccer programs.

The school gave $4,353,166 in athletic aid across its women's teams, about $19,968 per roster spot.
