The Netherlands claimed a bronze medal at the Women's Series final (the season-ending championship for the top eight 3x3 basketball teams) in Shanghai, despite entering the tournament as top seeds. The Dutch squad of Janis Boonstra, Evelien Lutje Schipholt, Noortje Driessen, and Ilse Kuijt fell to Romania's Rapid club side 18–14 in the semi-finals, with their opponents pulling away decisively after an 8–8 tie. The result continues a strong run for the Netherlands, who finished silver in 2024 and bronze the year before, and who stood on the podium at ten of eleven tournaments this season, winning six.
