The South American Women's Basketball League (Spanish: Liga Sudamericana de Baloncesto Femenino; Portuguese: Liga Sul-Americana de Basquetebol Feminino) is a South American competition of women's basketball clubs organized by CONSUBASQUET, which in 2009 took over and recreated the competition. It is the successor to the "South American Women's Club Championship" and the "South American Women's Club League".

History

The championship began in 1981 and stopped being played in 1999, then an attempt was made to reissue it in 2002 without success, and it was played again from 2009 to 2015. The tournament was later relaunched in 2019.

There is a hegemony of the Brazilian teams, who dominated the competition, winning the first seventeen of the contests played.

The streak was breaking in 2019, when Sampaio was eliminated in the group stage, against Club Lums and Leonas de Riobamba from Ecuador. This tournament was won by colombian team, Copacabana de Antioquia.

The tournament began to be played every year in 2021, despite the suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Félix Pérez Cardozo gave the first title to Paraguay, when defeated Defensor Sporting, from Uruguay, in 2022 final.

After two editions, brazilian teams returned to the competition in 2024, taking back the crown, when SESI Araraquara was champion, defeating uruguayan, Aguada.
