FIBA Caribbean Championship
Basketball tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FIBA Caribbean Championship, formerly known as the CBC Championship or CARICOM Basketball Championship, is a FIBA-sponsored international basketball tournament where national teams from the Caribbean participate. These countries are members of the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC). The top three or four teams typically earn berths to the Centrobasket where they compete for spots in the FIBA AmeriCup, from which they can qualify for the FIBA Basketball World Cup or Summer Olympics. There are currently 24 Caribbean countries that may compete in this event.

The men's tournament was typically played every two years. Puerto Rico was traditionally the strongest team from this region winning Gold in 1985 with players like NBA hopeful Ramón Ramos and Ferdinand Martinez (MVP). They rarely competed as the squad usually has already earned a berth in the subsequent Centrobasket. The last edition of the men's CBC Championship took place in 2015. Since 2018, the Caribbean pre-qualifiers for the Pan-American pre-qualifiers of the FIBA AmeriCup have been held instead.
The women's tournament has been played from 1981 to the present. In 2018, the competition was rebranded as the FIBA Women's Caribbean Championship.
