Produced by Triple Crown Sports, the Women's Cancun Challenge began in 2005; there was no event in 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions. This will be the first time in the event for UCF, Fordham and Houston, and the second trip in for Baylor, Seton Hall, Toledo and USC. Idaho State has come on two other occasions, while 2021 will mark the fifth time that both Arizona State and Iowa have attended.

Seating is limited for this exclusive event, and all fans should book land travel packages through Triple Crown Sports for admission into games in Mexico. Travel packages are the only way to guarantee admission to games at this time.
