The PBA Women's 3x3 was a women's 3x3 basketball competition organized by the Philippine Basketball Association.

History

Following the promotion of the Philippine women's national team to Division I of the FIBA Asia Women's Championship due to their finish in the Division II tournament of the 2015 edition, the Philippine Basketball Association announced on September 24, 2015 that they would host a women's 3x3 tournament in the 2015–16 PBA season. The tournament was meant as a "test market" for women's basketball.

2015-16 PBA season

The tournament was officially launched on October 23, 2015 as the PBA Dickies Women's 3x3 Challenge as part of the 2015-16 PBA Philippine Cup.
