The 2016 SEABA Championship for Women was the 9th edition of the SEABA Championship for Women. It was held in Malacca City, Malaysia from 20 to 26 September.[1]

The Malaysia Basketball Association announced Malaysia's hosting of the tournament in May 2016.[2]

The Philippines secured their second title after they won over host Malaysia with the scoreline of 77–73 in September 24 with games still to be played. By that time only Malaysia could tie them by points but the winner over the other rule ensures the Philippines' title.[3]
