History

Historical Context

The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) was established on April 24, 1996, as a response to the growing popularity of women's basketball, particularly after the USA women's national team's success at the 1996 Olympics. The league began play in 1997 with eight teams, including the New York Liberty and Houston Comets, and has since expanded, reflecting a commitment to gender equity in sports and increasing international interest.
