The 2024–25 Richmond Spiders women's basketball team will represent the University of Richmond during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Spiders, led by sixth-year head coach Aaron Roussell, play their home games at the Robins Center and are members of the Atlantic 10 Conference.

The Spiders finished the 2023–24 season with a record of 29–6, 16–2 in A-10 play to win the outright regular-season championship.^[1] In the A-10 women's tournament, they earned the No. 1 seed and received first- and second-round byes before defeating No. 8 seed Loyola Chicago in the quarterfinals and No. 5 seed Duquesne in the semifinals.^[2][3] The Spiders claimed the A-10 tournament championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by defeating No. 6 seed Rhode Island in the championship final.^[4]

The Spiders earned a 10-seed in the NCAA tournament, where they fell to 7-seed Duke in the first round in Columbus, Ohio.^[5]

In a preseason poll of league head coaches, Richmond was chosen to repeat as champion of the Atlantic 10 Conference in 2024–25. Forwards Addie Budnik and Maggie Doogan were selected first-team preseason all-conference, and forward Rachel Ullstrom was named to the second team.^[6]

The Spiders took advantage of an NCAA rule allowing for preseason international training and competition trips, taking a 10-day trip to Spain in August and winning both exhibition games.^[7]

Richmond's 2024–25 non-conference schedule features 13 games, including a pair of games in the Daytona Beach Classic at the end of November and another pair in the West Palm Beach Classic in late December.^[8]

In the Atlantic 10 portion of the schedule, Richmond is scheduled to play a total of 18 games, including both home and away games against Davidson, Dayton, Saint Joseph's, and VCU. In addition, Richmond is scheduled to host George Mason, George Washington, Rhode Island, Saint Louis, and St. Bonaventure, while the Spiders will travel to Duquesne, Fordham, La Salle, Loyola Chicago, and UMass.^[9]
