Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Unrivaled?
A: Unrivaled is a professional 3-on-3 women’s basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The league brings together many of the biggest names in women’s basketball for a fast-paced, high-energy competition built specifically around the players.
Q: Do I need to be a basketball fan to enjoy this trip?
A: Basketball is the anchor of the weekend and women’s sports are a major part of the experience, but you do not need to be a die-hard fan to enjoy the trip.
The itinerary also includes women’s history, social justice history, LGBTQ+ culture, city exploration, guided storytelling, social time, and community building. If you enjoy travel, history, culture, or simply being around the energy of women’s sports, you may still find plenty to connect with.
Q: What if I don’t want to go to the Unrivaled basketball game?
A: That’s okay. The Unrivaled game is one of the central experiences of the weekend, but guests who choose not to attend can enjoy Friday evening independently in New York City.
Q: If I already have tickets, will there be an option to just do the tour?
A: Yes, you can just do the tour and use your own tickets to the game in NYC. This will allow you to still connect with others in the group socially, travel together, and have your accommodations planned. No discount is provided for already having your own event tickets.
Q: Is this trip mostly about basketball?
A: Basketball is an important part of the weekend and the trip is intentionally designed for women’s sports fans, but it is not a basketball-only experience. We’ll spend significant time exploring women’s history, LGBTQ+ culture, social justice stories, historic neighborhoods, iconic landmarks, and women-centered spaces in New York City and Philadelphia.Think of basketball as the thread that helps bring the group together, with history, culture, travel, and community surrounding it.

Q: How social is the trip?

Q: What is the difference between Single and Double Occupancy?
A: A Single Occupancy ticket includes a private hotel room for one guest throughout the trip. This option is ideal for travelers who prefer their own space and do not want to share accommodations.
