The Indonesia Srikandi Cup (Indonesian: Piala Srikandi) was a basketball competition between women's clubs in Indonesia.

History

The Srikandi Cup was preceded by several Indonesian women's basketball leagues such as the Women's Premier Basketball Competition (Kobanita) and the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

When the Women Indonesia Basketball League was put on a hiatus in 2017, the Srikandi Cup was organized as an alternative women's competition. The tournament was organized independently by its member clubs. The Indonesia women's national team's preparation for the 2017 SEA Games in Malaysia was a motivation to organize a women's competition.

The inaugural 2017 season saw the participation of eight teams. The Srikandi Cup had several minor tournaments called "series" where a champion is awarded for each before the play-off tournament. Surabaya Fever was the first overall champion. Surabaya won their second consecutive title in the 2017-18 season.

The third season of 2018–19, saw the withdrawal of Surabaya Fever after its owner Christopher Tanuwidjaja was appointed as manager of the Indonesia women's national team. The tournament shifted to a league format where each participating team meet twice in the regular season across three series before the play-offs. Merpati Bali became the only other champions by besting Sahabat Semarang in the final.

Its last season, the 2019–20 Srikandi Cup was suspended on March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league was already financially struggling at that point. The season was officially cancelled in November 2020 with expired contracts of some players and coaching staff of the participating teams also cited as a reason.
