Since its inception in 1935, the EuroBasket tournament (also known as the European Basketball Tournament) has become a staple on the international basketball circuit. The first EuroBasket tournament was held in Geneva, Switzerland. Since 2017, the men's EuroBasket tournament has been held every four years. The women's EuroBasket is held every two years. FIBA Europe oversees both competitions.
Russia won the most men's EuroBasket titles, claiming 13 of its 14 championships during the span when it was known as the Soviet Union. Russia and Spain are tied for the most championships on the women's side, with three titles a piece. Spain took home the most recent championship on the men's side, after defeating France in the 2022 final. Belgium won the most recent women's competition, after defeating Spain in the 2023 final.
