The North American Basketball Association (NABA) is a non-profit organization which coordinates an annual basketball tournament for athletes of Filipino ancestry. This organization was founded in 1986. It is supported by volunteers from various cities throughout the northeast regions of America (U.S. and Canada). Its annual tournament is held during the Labour Day Weekend, in either in U.S. or Canada. According to the host of the 2005 Tournament (SIPAG Basketball in New York), the NABA tournament has been described as Olympics of Basketball because of its large participation and attendance.
