The Liga Femenina de Básquetbol[1] (abbreviated as LFB; English: Women's Basketball League) is the most important club basketball league in Uruguay. It is organized by the Uruguayan Basketball Federation (FUBB). The competition began in 2016, under the name of Liga Uruguaya Femenina (English: Uruguayan Women's League) replacing the Torneo Metropolitano Femenino (English: Women's Metropolitan Tournament) after the incorporation of the first team outside Montevideo, Unión Ciclista Maragata from San José.[2]
The first LFB was won by Malvín, which adding their Metropolitan titles, stretched its streak to 14 consecutive championships,[3] by defeating Goes, which arrived undefeated,[4] in the finals.
The LFB is currently played in three stages: Torneo (Qualifying Tournament), the Series (1 or 2) and play-off.
Notes: All statistics are only for the Women's Basketball League (Liga Femenina de Básquetbol). Torneo Metropolitano Femenino are not included. The "arena" column reflects the arena where the team plays most of its home games, but does not indicate that the team in question is the owner.
