The FIBA Women's World Ranking is the FIBA's rankings of national women's basketball teams. FIBA ranks women's national teams in both senior and junior competitions. It also publishes combined rankings for all competitions involving both sexes.

Calculation

Since November 2019, FIBA uses a game-based system similar to the men's ranking.

Until 2019

FIBA still uses the competition-based system to determine its women's rankings. As noted above, this system was also used to determine men's rankings prior to 2017. FIBA has announced that it will introduce a game-based ranking procedure similar to that currently used for men's rankings in the indeterminate future.[2]

Events' weights

FIBA uses a weighted arithmetic mean to determine the statistical weight of each of the tournaments. Each event is assigned point weight that is based partly on how competitive the tournament is and partly on which national teams are participating:[3]

Number Event Weight
2 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 5
2 Olympic basketball tournaments 5
4 AfroBasket Women 0.2
4 FIBA Women's AmeriCup 0.8
4 FIBA Asia Women's Cup 0.3
4 EuroBasket Women 1
4 FIBA Oceania Women's Championship 0.1

Cycle and updates

Historical #1 teams

The calculations are done after the tournaments stated above in a group of two Olympic cycles (8 years). The oldest tournament outside the 8-year period is discarded and replaced with the newest competition.[3]

This means that in every computation, there are:

Example

The United States' 1000.0 points were calculated by this method:
