The formula of the competition has changed many times. Since 2003, it has been played in the KO system. Since 2005 games for the 3rd place were not played, but two bronze medals were awarded. Since 2009, the World Cup was held simultaneously with the U23 World Cup.

The 2023 edition was the last held. Due to changes in the WNBA-NBC calendar, the World Cup will be replaced with the European Championship.[3]
