American Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year
The American Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the American Athletic Conference's most outstanding player, as chosen by the league's head coaches. The conference formed in 2013–14 after many schools departed from the original Big East Conference to form a new Big East Conference. So far, UConn, which left after the 2019–20 season to join the current Big East, is the only team to have had an award winner. Breanna Stewart won the first three awards in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The following season saw the first-ever shared award, with Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson sharing honors. Each would win the award once more as an individual.Key
