The 2021 NCAA Division I women's soccer championship game (also known as the 2021 NCAA Division I Women's College Cup) was played on December 6, 2021, at Stevens Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and determined the winner of the 2021 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament, the national collegiate women's soccer championship in the United States. This was the 40th. edition of this tournament organised by the NCAA.
The match featured Florida State (21–1–3), which played its 6th. final, and BYU (17–5–3), which made its 1st. appearance in the final. After both teams tied on regular time, extra time was played but the score remained the same so a penalty shoot-out was conducted to determine a champion. Florida State leaded the series 4–3 winning its third NCAA national title and its 27th from ACC membership.
Seminoles goalkeeper Cristina Roque, who had two saves in the penalty shoot-out, was named "Defensive Most Outstanding Player for the College Cup". Roque had an average of 1.36 saves per match. On the other hand, Zhao Yujie scored the goal for the 4–3 win on penalties that gave Florida State its third national title.
