2017 FIBA AmeriCup

The 2017 FIBA AmeriCup was the 18th edition of the FIBA AmeriCup, which is the main tournament for senior men's basketball national teams of the FIBA Americas. The tournament was held in Medellín, Colombia, Montevideo, Uruguay, and Bahía Blanca and Córdoba, in Argentina, from 25 August, to 3 September 2017.

Unlike previous editions, the tournament did not award spots for the FIBA World Cup or the Summer Olympic Games, but the top seven teams qualified to the 2019 Pan American Games.

The United States, with a team of NBA G League players, won their seventh gold medal at the tournament, after defeating Argentina, by a score of 81–76, in the final, while Mexico took home the bronze, by beating the U.S. Virgin Islands, 79–65.

The top five teams at the 2016 Centrobasket and 2016 South American Championship qualified to the tournament, plus Canada and United States as the only countries in their subregion.

On 5 April 2017 FIBA Americas announced that Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay were chosen as the hosts of the AmeriCup.

The draw was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 20 April 2017.

All times are local (UTC−5).

* Two qualifying spots were available from Group B as Argentina were guaranteed to progress, regardless of their performance, due to their status as the "main organiser" of the tournament.
