The ABL 3x3 International Champions Cup, also known as the ABL 3x3 Cup, is a 3x3 basketball tournament held by the organizers of the ASEAN Basketball League.

Background

The ASEAN Basketball League was launched in 2009 as a traditional 5-a-side basketball league for Southeast Asian teams.[1] The ABL would hold tournaments until 2020 when it was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] As a precursor to resume the ABL in September 2022, the ABL 3x3 Cup was organized. The competition is not intended to be a one-off event and is part of the ABL's plans to expand to 3x3 basketball.[3]

The inaugural edition was held from 16 to 17 April 2022 in Bali, Indonesia. Both men's and women's competitions were held.[4][5][6][7]
