Cayman Islands Classic

The Cayman Islands Classic, operated by Caymax Sports Ltd., is an early-season college basketball tournament that takes place in late November of each year, at John Gray Gymnasium in George Town, Cayman Islands. The tournament bracket mirrors other popular NCAA early-season basketball tournaments like Hawaii's Maui Invitational and the Bahamas’ Battle 4 Atlantis. The inaugural tournament started and concluded from November 20–22, 2017. Since the Mountain West Conference has sponsored the tournament, a Mountain West team has been featured in the classic every year.
