Earl K. Long Gymnasium is a 1,121 seat multi-purpose sports venue on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in Lafayette, Louisiana. It is home of the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball and volleyball teams. It was built in 1939 and named for Earl K. Long, who served as governor of Louisiana at the time. The gym was home to the Ragin' Cajuns' men's program until 1950, when the teams moved to Blackham Coliseum.
Located on the main campus, E. K. Long Gym houses all of the women's' athletic administrative offices, including women's basketball, women's soccer, softball, and volleyball.
Women's basketball doubleheaders with the men's basketball team are played at the Cajundome.
