Featuring national teams from North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, the FIBA AmeriCup, which was originally known as the FIBA Americas Championship and the Tournament of the Americas, was first contested in 1980. Originally held every four years, the USA’s famed Dream Team made its debut and won the USA’s first FIBA Americas Championship in 1992. Beginning in 1993, the FIBA Americas Championship was held every two years, and starting with the 2017 event, will be held every four years. Coached by Jeff Van Gundy, the 2017 USA team captured the gold medal with an impressive 5-0 record, which included victories over Uruguay in Uruguay and host Argentina in the gold medal game.
