| The Caribbean Challenge (women's), Caribbean Classic (women's), and Cancun Challenge (men's) are NCAA Division I basketball events played in Cancun, Mexico. The Caribbean Challenge and Cancun Challenge are played during the Thanksgiving week every November, while the Caribbean Classic is played in the days leading up to Christmas. The events are produced and owned by Triple Crown Sports. Triple Crown Sports, based in Fort Collins, Colorado, started the women’s tournaments in 2005 when it saw a need to offer more tournament options for women’s college basketball programs. The company expanded to offer a men’s basketball tournament as well in 2008. Triple Crown Sports has been producing women's college basketball events since 1994. The company has been a long-standing supporter of women's basketball in its creation of the Preseason and Postseason Women's National Invitation Tournaments. Triple Crown Sports opened the inaugural 16-team Preseason WNIT in 1994, and began providing more postseason opportunities for women’s basketball programs when it formed the Postseason WNIT in 1998. Since then, the Postseason WNIT has expanded to 48 teams. The sports marketing company employs more than 50 people on a full-time basis, and more than 300 seasonal employees. Triple Crown Sports has produced events such as baseball and softball tournaments throughout the United States and seven countries for 27 years. |
