NIT Women

The Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) is a women's national college basketball tournament. It used to feature both a preseason and postseason version played every year, but the preseason tournament was last held in 2023. It is operated in a similar fashion to the men's college National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and NIT Season Tip-Off. Unlike the NIT, the women's tournament is not run by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), but is an independent tournament. Triple Crown Sports, a company based in Fort Collins, Colorado that specializes in the promotion of amateur sporting events, created the WNIT in 1994 as a preseason counterpart to the then-current National Women's Invitational Tournament (NWIT). After the NWIT folded in 1996, Triple Crown Sports resurrected the postseason version in 1998 under the NWIT name, but changed the following season to the current name.

The NIT Women (National Invitation Tournament for Women) is a prestigious postseason college basketball tournament held annually in the United States. Organized by the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), this tournament provides an exciting platform for top women's college basketball teams that did not make the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament to showcase their talents. Featuring a knockout format, the NIT Women brings together competitive programs from across the country, culminating in a championship game that highlights the best in women's college basketball. The tournament offers valuable postseason experience, exposure, and an opportunity for teams to finish their season on a high note.
