The Abra Weavers (known as the Abra Solid North Weavers for sponsorship reasons) are a Philippine professional basketball team based in Bangued, Abra. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division. The Weavers are the only team based in the Cordillera Administrative Region and are one of three teams based in Northern Luzon. The Weavers plays its home games at the Gov. Andres Bernos Memorial Gym on the campus of the University of Abra.

The Cordillera region as a whole didn't have much history in terms of hosting pro basketball. Their only notable hosting was the 2007 PBA All-Star Weekend, where the main game was hosted at the University of Baguio in Baguio.

On February 2, 2024, then-La Paz mayor and former representative Joseph Bernos announced on social media that the province of Abra would enter the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League for the 2024 season. On February 20, the team's name was announced as the 'Abra Weavers'. The Weavers are one of two expansion teams that season, the other being the Pangasinan Heatwaves.

To begin their inaugural season, the team acquired the likes of Mac Tallo and Mark Yee. Abra faced Pangasinan in their inaugural game on April 6, 2024 as the visiting team. They beat the home team Heatwaves, 83–75. The team's organization was involved in an altercation with game officials on April 18 following the team's loss to the home team Pasay Voyagers at Cuneta Astrodome. The league launched an investigation on the matter, though the verdict remains undisclosed. On June 15, the team played their first home game at the University of Abra, a win against the Rizal Golden Coolers.

The Weavers finished their inaugural season 18–10, ranked 7th in the North Division, and thus clinching a playoff berth in their inaugural season. Unfortunately, they would end up getting swept in the division quarterfinals to the eventual back-to-back champion Pampanga Giant Lanterns.

For the 2025 season, the Weavers acquired Encho Serrano from the Pampanga Giant Lanterns as well as Dave Ildefonso, who was left unsigned after getting drafted by the NorthPort Batang Pier. Multiple college recruits were also signed to the Weavers. In June 2025, the team added former MPBL Finals MVP Mike Ayonayon alongside Simon Camacho and Geo Chiu, but also released Paul Desiderio.
