Women's National Invitation Tournament
- Women's National Invitation Tournament
:"For the TV station in South Bend, Indiana; see WNIT (TV)."The Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) is a college basketball tournament with a preseason and postseason version played every year. It is operated in a similar fashion to the men's NIT.
Unlike the men's NIT, the WNIT is not operated by the NCAA, nor was it operated by the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association, the body which ran the men's NIT for virtually all of its history until the NCAA purchased that tournament in 2005. Currently, the WNIT is owned and promoted by Triple Crown Sports, a Denver, Colorado-based promotion and marketing company.
From 1998 to 2005, the field was 32 teams. In 2006, it was 40 teams and since 2007 it has been 48.
For historical purposes, the results of the past National Women’s Invitational Tournaments (1969-96, 98-00) or Women’sNIT are listed below. The tournament was played in Amarillo, Texas until 1998, when schools began to host.
