The Jamaica Classic (branded as the Jersey Mike's Jamaica Classic) was an early-season college basketball tournament that took place in November of each year at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from 2017 through 2019 and in 2022. Each year, Jamaica Classic participants played games at campus sites in the United States, some before and some after the Montego Bay games. At Montego Bay, those which hosted the campus-site games played in the "Montego Bay Division" of the Classic, while those which visited the hosts for campus-site games played separately in the "Rose Hall Division." A separate championship was awarded for each division, and a most valuable player was selected in each division.
Games played at the Montego Bay Convention Centre were televised on the CBS Sports Network.
