The 1994 FIBA World Championship was an international basketball competition hosted by Canada from August 4 to August 14, 1994. The tournament was held at SkyDome^[1] and Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto^[2] as well as at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton^[2]. The hosting duties were originally awarded to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, but after United Nations imposed a trade embargo on the Balkan country, Toronto stepped in as a replacement option in 1992.

The tournament was won by the United States - Dream Team II, who beat Russia 137-91 in the Final. The United States finished with a perfect 8-0 record (8 wins and 0 losses). The bronze medal was won by Croatia who beat Greece 78-60 in the bronze-medal game.
