U Sports women's basketball is the highest level of play of women's basketball at the university level under the auspices of U Sports, Canada's governing body for university sports. There are 48 teams, all of which are based in Canada, that are divided into four conferences that are eligible to compete for the year-end championship. As these players compete at the university level, they are obligated to follow the rule of standard eligibility of five years. The winning team of the U Sports women's basketball championship is awarded the Bronze Baby trophy.[1] The championship has been played for since 1972, with the UBC Thunderettes capturing the inaugural championship.
As of the 2019–2020 U Sports season, 48 of the 56 U Sports member institutions have women's basketball teams. The teams are split into four conferences with some conferences splitting teams further into divisions. With the addition of Ontario Tech for the 2019–20 season, the OUA moved to three six-team divisions.[2] The Canada West conference had two divisions, but reverted to a one conference format for the 2016–17 season with 17 teams.[3] The AUS conference has eight teams while the RSEQ conference has five.
The OUA postseason tournament champions are awarded the Critelli Cup.
