USA Basketball Men's National Team

USA Men's National Team

First held in 1950 and conducted every four years since 1970, FIBA recently changed its competition schedule and the next FIBA Basketball World Cup will take place in 2019. Claiming five gold medals, three silver medals and four bronze medals with a 123-27 overall record all-time in World Cup competition, the USA will look to claim a three-peat, something no nation has done in the past 17 editions of the event. But first it must qualify for the 2019 World Cup through FIBA's new qualification process, which features six windows of competition from Nov. 2017 through Feb. 2019.

Qualifying Schedule
