The Women’s Blue-Chip Basketball League was founded in November 2004 by Willie McCray as a professional development female basketball league. With the assistance of co-founders Cortez Bond and Prentiss Broadway, the WBCBL has provided players with top rate competition and exposure to professional scouts from around the world.

The WBCBL's mission is to provide highly competitive basketball for women in the United States. The competition level vary from former college players to former NWBL, WNBA players and current International players.

As of December 2015, the WBCBL has 37 teams across North America. The season typically operates from late April until early August and concludes with national league playoffs.

As of March 2017^[update], the roster of teams in the WBCBL is as follows.

In honor of the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League’s 10th anniversary, the 2015 Women’s Professional Basketball “Trailblazer” Award was given on August 2, 2015 to ten female basketball icons, including Cynthia Cooper, Nancy Lieberman, Sarah Campbell, Dr. Robelyn Garcia, Lynette Woodard, Kandi Conda, Lisa Leslie, E.C. Hill, Dr. Geri Kay Hart and Tamika Catchings. The award recognizes some of the most influential people in professional women’s basketball, specifically those who helped blaze the trail, shape the overall landscape and pave the way for women’s professional basketball. These 10 women have prevailed to greatness in a male dominated sport and give hope to young girls who inspire to be professional players, coaches, and team owners.
