The 2025 WAFU Zone A Women's Cup (; ) was the third edition of the WAFU Zone A Women's Cup, an international women's football tournament contested by the women's national association football teams of West Africa zone A organized by the West African Football Union (WAFU). Mauritania hosted the tournament from 18 to 31 May 2025, marking the first-ever women's international football competition to take place in the country.
Senegal were two-time champions, having won every edition of the tournament to date. However, they fell short in their title defense after a 0–1 defeat to Sierra Leone in the final. Conversely, "Sierra Queens"; who had never progressed beyond the group stage in prior editions, enjoyed a historic campaign, culminating in their maiden title triumph. Senegal's Hapsatou Malado Diallo claimed the Top Scorer award for the second consecutive time, netting five goals throughout the competition. Sierra Leone's goalkeeper, Hannah Juana was named both Best Player and Best Goalkeeper, following a series of standout performances that played a pivotal role in her nation's maiden title victory.
Of the eight participating teams, hosts Mauritania scored their first-ever goal in the tournament and went on to secure their maiden victory; both in the competition and on the international stage, by defeating Guinea-Bissau in their final group-stage match.
