SINGAPORE: Australia (women) and New Zealand (men) completed dominant, unbeaten runs to be crowned champions at the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026, capping a dramatic final day in Singapore to be crowned FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026 winners.
Australia’s road to the women’s title was far from straightforward. They needed a dramatic comeback in the semifinals, where Amy Atwell’s late heroics lifted them past China, 21-20, before taking full control in the Final over Philippines, 18-9, to extend their dynasty in the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup, claiming the tittle for the 6th time.
New Zealand, meanwhile, dethroned men’s defending champions Australia earlier in the day, with Te Tuhi Lewis catching fire from deep to lead a 21-16 semifinals win. They maintained that momentum in the Final, controlling Republic of Korea with disciplined offense and timely shot-making before icing the game, 21-15.
Beyond the champions, the tournament marked historic breakthroughs.
