The 2024–25 New Hampshire Wildcats women's basketball team represents the University of New Hampshire during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wildcats, led by first-year head coach Megan Shoniker, play their home games at the Lundholm Gym in Durham, New Hampshire, as members of the America East Conference.

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2023–24 season 9–20, 3–13 in America East play, to finish in last place.[1] Since only the top eight teams make it, the Wildcats failed to qualify for the America East tournament.[2]

On March, 28, 2024, head coach Kelsey Hogan announced her resignation, ending her four-year tenure with the team.[3] On April 24, the school announced that they would be hiring Rhode Island assistant coach Megan Shoniker as the team's next head coach.[4]
