The Cayman Islands Classic operated by Caymax Sports Ltd., in conjunction with Global Sports Management is a new preseason college basketball tournament that takes place in late November of each year, at John Gray gymnasium in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Basketball Classic is expected to mirror other popular NCAA preseason basketball tournaments like Hawaii’s Maui Invitational Tournament or the Bahamas’ Battle 4 Atlantis.[1] The First Tournament started November 20, 2017 and concluded on November 22, 2017. The Mountain West sponsors the tournament, as a result a Mountain West team will be in the preseason tournament every year.[2]

The Inaugural field featured Buffalo, Cincinnati, Iowa, Louisiana-Lafayette, Richmond, South Dakota State, UAB and Wyoming.[3][4]
