The U Sports Women's Rugby Championship, is a Canadian university rugby union tournament conducted by U Sports, and determines the women's national champion. The tournament involves the champions from each of Canada's four regional sports conferences. The Monilex Trophy is awarded to the winners.

The first women's rugby union championship was held in November 1998. The tournament features eight teams playing in a single-elimination format, which takes place over four days and features 11 games at a single, pre-determined host site. The trophy was donated by Monilex Sports, the official Canadian distributor of Gilbert Rugby balls. The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
