The Women's Basketball League Americas (also known as the WBLA) is the top basketball league in Americas for women's basketball clubs.
First established by FIBA Americas in 2023, to expand the women's basketball competitions when previously, the South American teams, and the Central American and North American teams, played separate tournaments.[1]
At the initial tournament Indeportes Antioquia of Colombia were crowned champions, beating uruguayan club, Malvín at the final disputed in Rionegro.[2]
The 8 clubs were divided into two groups of four teams, each with a host.
The two best-placed clubs in each group qualified for the Final Four.
The Final Four were established according to the standings of each team in the groups. It is organized by one of the qualified clubs. The semi-finales were played in a single-match, like the third place game, and the final.
