The 2020 U Sports Women's Basketball Championship was held March 5–8, 2020, in Ottawa, Ontario, to determine a national champion for the 2019–20 U Sports women's basketball season.[1] The Saskatchewan Huskies defeated the Brock Badgers to win the national championship, which was the second Bronze Baby trophy win in program history.[2]
The tournament was jointly hosted by Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and the Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group (OSEG) at TD Place Arena. It was also held in conjunction with the 2020 U Sports Men's Basketball Championship which occurs on the same weekend.[3] This was the first time that the city of Ottawa hosted the women's championship game.[4]
