USA Basketball Men's National Team

USA Men's AmeriCup National Team

First held in 1980 and originally known as the FIBA Americas Championship, USA Basketball will take part in the 2017 AmeriCup that is scheduled to be conducted August 25-September 3. Featuring 12 national teams from North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, the FIBA Americas Championship was originally held every four years. The USA’s famed Dream Team made its debut and won the FIBA Americas Championship in 1992, and beginning in 1993, the FIBA Americas Championship was held every two years. The FIBA Americas Championship through 2015 served as a qualifying tournament for the FIBA Basketball World Cup and the Olympic Games. Beginning in 2017, the AmeriCup will be played every four years (2017, 2021) but will no longer be a qualifying event for either the World Cup or the Olympics.
