The 2015 FIBA Oceania Championship for Men was the 22nd edition of the FIBA Oceania Championship. The tournament featured a two-game series between Australia and New Zealand. It also served as the qualifying tournament of FIBA Oceania for basketball at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The first game was held in Melbourne, Australia on August 15, followed by the second game in Wellington, New Zealand on August 18.[1]
Australia won both games of the series, and with an aggregate score of 160-138, qualified to the 2016 Olympics.[2] With the loss, New Zealand qualified to the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men, the final qualifying tournament for the 2016 Olympics.[3]
This was the last edition of the FIBA Oceania Championship to be held. From 2017, Australia and New Zealand compete with teams from FIBA Asia in the FIBA Asia Cup as part of changes to international competition formats announced by FIBA.[4][5]
