The R. William Jones Cup (also known as the Jones Cup) is an international basketball tournament held annually since 1977 in Taipei, Taiwan. It was named after Renato William Jones, a basketball promoter and one of the founders of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). Like the Summer Olympics and the FIBA World Championship, it has both men's and women's version, both dominated by American teams since the beginning. It also invites professional club teams, collegiate teams, and national teams from around the world, although the participants are mainly from the Asian and the North American regions.
In 2003, due to the SARS epidemic in Asia, the tournament was cancelled but resumed the following year.
