TheFIBA AmeriCup (previously known as theFIBA Americas Championship orTorneo de las Américas) is theAmericasbasketball championship that takes place once every four years betweennational teams of theWestern Hemisphere continents.
Since FIBA organized the entire Western Hemisphere west of theAtlantic Ocean under one zone, countries fromNorth America,Central America, theCaribbean andSouth America compete in this tournament.
Through the 2015 edition, the Americas championship took place every two years, and was also a qualifying tournament for theFIBA World Cup and theSummer Olympic Games. However, since 2017, the AmeriCup, along with all otherFIBA 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 World Cup or Olympics.[1]
The United States has the most titles in the tournament's history with seven.
