During the first four years of the league, the Houston Comets' Cynthia Cooper won the award four consecutive times. The Los Angeles Sparks' Lisa Leslie won back-to-back in the subsequent two seasons. No other players have won the award in consecutive seasons, but Diana Taurasi, Sylvia Fowles, and Breanna Stewart have won the award twice. While some teams have won multiple championship since the dynasty years of the Comets and the Sparks, the match-up usually resulted in different MVPs. For example, in the Detroit Shock's three wins over six years, three different players won the award. As of 2024, there have been three non-American Finals MVPs – Lauren Jackson of Australia (2010), Emma Meesseman of Belgium (2019), and Jonquel Jones, a Bahamian who has represented Bosnia and Herzegovina internationally (2024).
