The 2024 Rwanda Basketball Cup was the inaugural season of the Rwanda Basketball Cup, the cup competition for men's teams in Rwanda. It is organised by FERWABA, the national basketball association. The first games were played on 26 April 2024,[1] while the playoffs began on 9 July 2024, and ended end on 9 August 2024.[2][3]
The first season consisted of 21 teams from the Rwanda Basketball League as well as the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2.[3] The first four teams from the 2023 RBL season received direct qualification for the quarterfinals, while the other teams entered the group phase.
