CBC Championship
The CBC Championship or Caribebasket is a FIBA-sponsored
basketball tournament where national teams from the
Caribbean participate. These countries make up Caribbean
Basketball Confederation (CBC). The top three or four teams
typically earn berths to Centrobasket Championship where
they compete for spots in the FIBA Americas Championship,
from which they can qualify for the FIBA World Championship
or Olympics.
There are currently 24 Caribbean countries that may compete
in this event. Celebration of the tournament typically is
every two years. The senior championships are held on odd
years, while the youth U15 championships are held on even
years. Puerto Rico is traditionally the strongest team from
this region, but they rarely compete as the squad usually
has already earned a berth in the subsequent Centrobasket
championships.
Until 2002, this tournament was called the CARICOM
Basketball Championship. Through 2012, the senior
championships had been held twenty-one times for the men and
twenty times for the women.
