The LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds women's basketball team represented the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University, located in Brooklyn, New York in NCAA Division I basketball competition. They played their home games at the Steinberg Wellness Center, formerly known as the Wellness, Recreation & Athletics Center, and were members of the Northeast Conference (NEC).[2]
At the end of the 2018–19 school year, LIU merged its two athletic programs—the Division I program of the Brooklyn campus and the NCAA Division II program of its Post campus in Nassau County, New York—into a single Division I program that now competes as the LIU Sharks.[3] The Sharks maintain Brooklyn's Division I and NEC memberships.
