FIBA AmeriCup

The FIBA AmeriCup (previously known as the FIBA Americas Championship or Torneo de las Américas) is the Americas basketball championship that takes place once every four years between national teams of the Americas.

Since FIBA organized the entire Western Hemisphere east of the Pacific Ocean and west of the Atlantic Ocean under one zone, national teams from North America (comprising Northern America, Central America, and the Caribbean) and South America compete in this tournament.

Through the 2015 edition, the Americas championship took place once every two years, and was also a qualifying tournament for the FIBA World Cup and the Summer Olympic Games. However, since 2017, the AmeriCup, along with all other FIBA continental championships for men are played once every four years. The continental championships are no longer a part of the qualifying process for either the FIBA World Cup or the Olympics.

The United States is the most successful nation with 7 titles, but did not contest all editions of the tournament while they were qualified and focused for the Olympic Games and World Cup.

The FIBA AmeriCup is a premier international basketball tournament that showcases the best national teams from the Americas. Organized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), this prestigious event brings together top talent from North America, South America, and the Caribbean, creating a thrilling competition that highlights the rich basketball culture of the region.

Held every four years, the AmeriCup features a series of intense matches where teams compete for the coveted title and the opportunity to represent their countries on the global stage. The tournament not only serves as a platform for established stars to shine but also provides a stage for emerging talent to make their mark in the sport.

With a format that includes group stages followed by knockout rounds, the FIBA AmeriCup promises high-stakes action, dramatic finishes, and unforgettable moments. Fans can expect to see a blend of playing styles, from the fast-paced, high-scoring games typical of North American teams to the strategic and skillful approaches often employed by South American squads.

In addition to the on-court excitement, the FIBA AmeriCup fosters camaraderie and sportsmanship among nations, celebrating the spirit of basketball as a unifying force. Whether you're a die-hard basketball fan or a casual observer, the FIBA AmeriCup is an event not to be missed, offering a unique glimpse into the future of basketball in the Americas and beyond.
