The Bahamas men's national basketball team represents The Bahamas in international basketball. The team is controlled by the Bahamas Basketball Federation.
The Bahamas has traditionally been the dominant nation at the official Caribbean Basketball Championship as it won more gold medals and more overall medals than any contender.
Basketball in the Bahamas has grown steadily since the mid-20th century, with the sport gaining popularity in schools and community programs. The Bahamas Basketball Federation (BBF) was founded in 1962, shortly before the country’s independence, and joined FIBA in 1962, making the Bahamas one of the earliest Caribbean nations to compete in international basketball.
The national team made its international debut in regional competitions in the 1970s, participating in the Caribbean Basketball Championship and establishing itself as one of the strongest basketball nations in the Caribbean. The Bahamas won multiple gold medals at the Caribbean Championship, including titles in 1982, 1995, and 1998, cementing its reputation in the region.
On the continental stage, the Bahamas has participated in several editions of the FIBA AmeriCup qualifiers and the Centrobasket tournament, often competing against Central and South American powerhouses such as Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Dominican Republic. While the team has not yet qualified for a FIBA World Cup or the Olympic Games, it has remained a consistent competitor in the Americas region.
The 2010s and 2020s saw a rise in Bahamian talent playing in the NBA and overseas professional leagues, including players such as Buddy Hield, Deandre Ayton, and Kai Jones, who have strengthened the visibility of Bahamian basketball internationally. In August 2023, the Bahamas achieved one of its most significant milestones by winning the Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Argentina, defeating top regional teams and earning a place in the 2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifiers for Paris.
Today, the Bahamas men’s national basketball team continues to compete in FIBA competitions with a long-term goal of qualifying for the FIBA Basketball World Cup and the Olympic Games, building on the momentum created by its NBA stars and regional dominance.
