The 2020 Louisville Cardinals women's soccer team represented University of Louisville during the 2020 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cardinals were led by head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes, in her twenty-first season. They played home games at Lynn Stadium. This was the team's 36th season playing organized women's college soccer and their 7th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021.[1][2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament.[3]

The Cardinals finished the fall season 4–5–0, 4–4–0 in ACC play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They were awarded the sixth seed in the ACC Tournament based on tiebreakers. In the tournament they lost to Virginia in the Quarterfinals. The Cardinals finished the spring season 1–2–0 and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
