List of FIBA Intercontinental Cup finals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FIBA Intercontinental Cup (formerly the FIBA Club World Cup) is an international basketball competition that is organised by FIBA, the sport's global governing body. Currently, NBA G League United and five teams qualify for each season, the winners of the Basketball Africa League (BAL), Basketball Champions League (BCL), Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA), Basketball Champions League Asia (BCL Asia) and the National Basketball League (NBL).
From to 1970 to 1980, there were no finals played as the league champions were decided through a league format, in which all teams played each other once and were ranked based on wins. The Intercontinental Cup was not organised between 1998 and 1995, and 1997 and 2012 as well.
