The 2022 FIBA AmeriCup was the 19th edition of the FIBA AmeriCup, the quadrennial international men's basketball championship organized by FIBA Americas. The tournament was held in Recife, Brazil, as Brasília was dropped as a second host city months before the tournament.[1] It was originally scheduled to take place in 2021, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to 2 to 11 September 2022.[2][3]

The 2022 FIBA AmeriCup concluded with Argentina winning the final against Brazil to win their third title.[4] The United States secured the bronze medal with a victory over Canada.[5]
