The NCAA Final Four most often refers to the playoffs of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) (NCAA) seniors' basketball tournament. The term "final four" came from the United States National Collegiate Athletic Association's men's Division I basketball tournament which is colloquially called as the "final four" in that country. "Final Four" is now the American NCAA's registered trademark so that no other organizers within the United States can refer to contests or tournaments under that name.
