The 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship (also called the ASEAN MSIG Serenity Cup 2025 for sponsorship reasons) was the 13th edition of the ASEAN Women's Championship (previously known as the AFF Women's Championship), an international women's football tournament organised by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). This event was the first time a qualification tournament, the 2024 AFF Women's Cup, was held before the championship, and the first where a video assistant referee was used (in the knockout stage only).
The Philippines were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage.
The Championship was won by the Australia U23, their first title.
Qualification
The top five teams from the 2022 AFF Women's Championship automatically qualified for the 2025 edition. Indonesia, Cambodia, and Singapore, the top three teams of the 2024 AFF Women's Cup held in Laos also qualified.
Singapore later withdrew from the tournament due to overlapping fixtures, to be replaced by Timor-Leste. The Australia U23 represented Australia for the second consecutive time.

Venues Indonesia was originally named as the host of the tournament. However, due to conflicting schedules with the 2025 ASEAN U-16 Women's Championship, Indonesia withdrew their hosting rights. As the result, the ASEAN Football Federation chose Vietnam as the new host nation, with matches held in Haiphong and Phú Thọ.

Group stage Tiebreakers In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points (3points for a win, 1point for a draw, 0points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings: Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams; Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams; Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams; If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams; Goal difference in all group matches; Goals scored in all group matches; Lower disciplinary points (red card = 3points, yellow card = 1point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3points);
However, these criteria would not apply if two teams tied on points, goal difference and goals scored drew against each other in their final group match, and no other team in the group finishes with the same number of points; in that case, the tie would be broken by a penalty shootout.
