History
Under-15 South American Championship
Brazil is the most successful team in the number of medals won at the South American Championship (15 gold, five silver and two bronze medals).
Under-16 AmeriCup
At the Americas Championship, Brazil has traditionally battled Argentina as South America's frontrunner. In this duel, Brazil has kept the upper hand as they have won two silver medals. At the 2015 event, Brazil eliminated the traditionally dominant United States but ceded to Canada in the finals 71-72 after overtime.
In 2021, Ana Passos Alves Da Silva and Taissa Nascimento Queiroz both averaged a double-double through group play for Brazil, but Giovanna Rocha da Silva has followed the lead with a 10 point and 8 rebound average of her own.[33]
Under-17 World Cup
As the only South American team, Brazil qualified for the 2016 FIBA Under-17 World Championship for Women where they finished 13th.
