Women's Basketball started in 1892, one year after the invention of the game. Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher at Smith College, amended some of the rules for women. The first game using her rules was in 1893 when a team of her freshman students played a team of her sophomore students.

I'm sure it would be impossible to pin down the first competitive women's athletic event in the world.

A couple of milestones, though:

1921: Monte Carlo hosts "the first true international meeting for women... Five countries were represented in eleven events"

1928: Women's events are first included in the Olympics
