In a copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices, the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part under high-temperature and high-humidity environments is improved. The copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices includes in total 0.03% by mass or more to 3% by mass or less of at least one or more kinds of elements selected from Ni, Zn, Ga, Ge, Rh, In, Ir, and Pt (first element), with the balance Cu and inevitable impurities. The inclusion of a predetermined amount of the first element suppresses production of an intermetallic compound susceptible to corrosion under high-temperature and high-humidity environments at the wire bonding interface and improves the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part.
