2015 FIBA Americas Championship qualification
Open-knowledge reference entry
The qualification for the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico was held as early as 2013 until 2014. There are several stages of qualification for some teams. Aside from the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship, the tournaments also doubled as qualifiers for basketball at the 2015 Pan-American Games.
Qualification format
Each FIBA Americas subzone has a specific number of berths, generally based on the relative strengths of its member national teams. For the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship, the berths distribution is:
North America
For the North American zone, since there are only 2 member teams (Canada and the United States) and there are 2 berths, no qualification games are necessary. Furthermore, since the United States won the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup and automatically qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics, they withdrew from the FIBA Americas Championship. Their non-participation opened up an extra berth, which was awarded to the fourth placed team in the South American Basketball Championship 2014.
Central America and Caribbean
Some teams from the Central America and Caribbean Commission Zone had to qualify for the 2014 Centrobasket. The qualifying tournament was the 2014 FIBA CBC Championship for Caribbean teams, and the 2013 FIBA COCABA Championship for teams from Mexico and Central America. The top four teams from the 2014 Centrobasket advance to the FIBA Americas Championship; host country Mexico automatically qualified.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19870732. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2013, 2014 and 2016.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
