History

Historical Context

In July 1996 the Atlanta Olympics opened and the United States women’s basketball team won gold, finishing undefeated. That success echoed other 1996 U.S. victories, including the Chicago Bulls’ fourth NBA title and the Colorado Avalanche’s first Stanley Cup, a 4-0 sweep. The 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup extends the streak that began in 2006.
