The current governing body for the Great Britain team was formed by the national federations of England (Basketball England), Scotland (Basketballscotland), and Wales (Basketball Wales) on 1 December 2006.[2] Prior to the merger, England, Scotland, and Wales competed independently during international play except for Olympic events.
Great Britain have qualified for the top European tournament, EuroBasket, five times (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2022).
