The Gangurrus women\u2019s team have once again stamped their authority on the Asian region, claiming a sixth FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup title with an 18-9 win over the Philippines in Singapore.<\/p>\n
The gold medal caps off another dominant campaign for Australia, who went unbeaten across the tournament and further cemented their standing as the benchmark program in Asia.<\/p>\n

Kristy Wallace was also recognised for her standout tournament, named Most Valuable Player of the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026 after leading Australia in her 3×3 debut.<\/p>\n
