The 2025 PWHL Finals was the championship series of the Professional Women's Hockey League 2024–25 PWHL season and the culmination of the 2025 PWHL playoffs. The winners of the semifinals, the Ottawa Charge and the Minnesota Frost competed in a best-of-five series to determine the league's champion and winner of the Walter Cup. The Frost defeated the Charge in four games to win their second consecutive Walter Cup.
The series began on May 20. The Charge had home-ice advantage in the series as the team with the better regular season record. Both teams had 44 points in the regular season, however Ottawa earned a higher ranking due to having more regulation wins than Minnesota.
It was the second straight season that both teams heading into the final were the lower ranked seeds in the semifinals.
In the regular season, the two teams played each other six times, with both teams winning three games.
