The CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was an international football (soccer) event in the North America, Central America and the Caribbean region, and was the qualification tournament for the Olympic Games.

Women's football tournaments in Olympics have been held since 1996, but the qualifying tournaments were held for the 2004 to 2020 Olympics,[1] with the two finalists qualify for the Olympic tournament.

For the 2024 Summer Olympics, the winner of the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship will qualify for the 2024 tournament, while the second and third-placed teams will advance to a CONCACAF Olympic play-off,[2] where the winner of the play-off will qualify for the Olympics.

The two previous events, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000, saw only the eight best teams from the FIFA Women's World Cup in 1995 and 1999 compete. However, a FIFA decision encouraged the confederations to organise their own qualifying competitions, but while AFC, CAF, CONCACAF and OFC acted upon FIFA's request, CONCACAF merely nominated Brazil as the South American representative and, as a result of scheduling problems in the current match calendar, the two top UEFA teams from the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003 gained direct entry to Athens 2004.
