The 1995 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) All-Filipino Cup was the first conference of the 1995 PBA season. It started on February 19 and ended on May 21, 1995. The tournament is an All-Filipino format, which doesn't require an import or a pure-foreign player for each team.

Format

The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference:

  • The teams were divided into 2 groups.

Group A:

  1. Ginebra San Miguel
  2. Purefoods TJ Hotdogs
  3. Shell Rimula X Turbo Chargers
  4. Sunkist Orange Juicers

Group B:

  1. Alaska Milkmen
  2. Pepsi Mega Bottlers
  3. San Miguel Beermen
  4. Sta. Lucia Realtors

  • Teams in a group will play against each other twice and against teams in the other group once; 10 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records. Ties are broken among point differentials of the tied teams. Standings will be determined in one league table; teams do not qualify by basis of groupings.
  • The top five teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals.[1]
  • Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the remaining teams. Results from the elimination round will be carried over.[2] A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win at least five of their eight semifinal games.[3]
  • The top two teams (or the top team and the winner of the playoff incentive) will face each other in a best-of-seven championship series. The next two teams will qualify for a best-of-three playoff for third place.
